### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Effective
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2015*

This has been the most helpful read for me. It has explained the difference in the art I want to produce creatively and the art I am frequently asked to produce representationally. The exercises included are helpful directions for developing and inspiring unique, individual skills of your own talent, whether it be in painting, clay, jewelry, or even architecture, etc.. It  establishes a good foundation of creativity through line, notan (mass) and color that can be applied to any artistic discipline.

    Push you paintings to the next level
  

*by D***H on Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2008*

I really, really like this book.  It reminded me what quality artwork should aspire to and what I should aspire to in my own paintings.  Painting is not about copying what you see.  It is about adding an element of pleasing design that lifts your painting to a higher level.Reading this book as inspired me and challenged me to attempt a higher level of painting.Dow explains 5 principles of composition,notan-the harmony with dark and light shapes, and color theory.The writing is a little dry in places, but the book is not intended to be an entertaining novel.  There are plenty of illustrations and written explanations.  The concepts are presented in a very understandable way.I think this book is best suited for those artists who have some basic skills and experience and who want to be able to add an element of good design to their artwork.I recommend this book.
