At first I thought I might send this book back; there is really not a lot of new material here and if you have a collection of this type of book, as I do, you will see many familiar techniques. It is, admittedly, called "fundamentals" and that is exactly what it is. Its STRENGTHS, however, are its organization (it is all sectioned out in artistic genres), its conciseness (all the directions are straight forward and brief), clear photos that show JUST the technique being taught and the hardback spiral binding for laying the book out on a table. As an artist and a teacher of art workshops, this is an excellent book to go to when looking to try something new but not complicated or create a good lesson quickly and easily.
Kinda dissapointed...Not much in it . Not much instruction. Just a glitsy book with photos and not very clear instructions...Would not recommend it...It does not go into very much detail which is what a person expects when they buy a book with"101" in the title. Pictures are pretty.....A little more instruction would have been a great asset to this book....
When I read the reviews on this book and looked inside I was interested. When I received the book, now that's another story. When looking through the book online, I noticed that it helps you with background techniques for painting.Which is the reason for buying it in the first place. But once I had the book and looked through it, I noticed the book just skims through the surface of techniques and there wasn't any steps by step guidelines either. Just a brief explanation on what to do or how to do. I found only about three images showing the after effect of each technique the book spoke of. I felt confused because I wasn't sure it I was doing the techniques right.So, I'll go on YouTube and see if I find a video on the techniques mentioned in the book.I'm giving this book a 4 star only because there are really interesting things in it. But it lacks a step by step guideline for the reader to understand entirely.
this book is a go-to source for me. I have been able to use it again and again. Actually used it today. it is a terrific resource and folds flat. it is organized really well and it is easy to find what i am looking for. I also learned a lot and really like all the images.
Love the book, but I like more step by step details. Sometimes the instructions are a bit hazy. I like the spiral binding. Let's the book lie flat to refer to when doing the mixed media art.
This book does not really tell/show you how to do these techniques. A lot of pretty illustrations, though. Not even fundamental.
Honestly, given the high ratings for this book, I bought it based on that. When I got it I was disappointed to see it was little more than an uninspired mash-up of ideas, none of which I hadn't seen dozens of times before and they were for the most part, poorly executed. I like to buy books for inspiration. I can safely say I didn't come away from this book w/ anything new or inspired. When I saw who published it, I wasn't surprised. I haven't bought Foster books since I was a child. They are just too elementary.
Each page is packed with awesome techniques and so much inspiration! Just a quick look through when it first arrived made my heart sing!!
