    Great inspirational book

    I read this book in pieces as I prepare to paint. It gives me insight and perspective as I think about my painting.

    ATTENTION ARTISTS: In order to self-educate, we must read. START HERE!!

    A simply amazing text. Henri is such a natural teacher. His ability to understand, and to pass on that understanding is a gift to us all. And although I don't agree with everything he says, I am a better man for having listened. Do not miss out on this one.

    A Fantastic Book!

    If you are an artist or just one who is fascinated by art this is a quite moving book by a very knowledgable man. It is most inspiring for new artists as well as old.
