Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Sonheim, a painter, illustrator, and workshop instructor, uses skills learned by drawing—e.g., learning to "see" and focus, developing your "hand"—to instill the confidence to get wildly creative in mixed media. In 52 weekly projects, she finds inspiration in famous artists, childhood, and nature. One week focuses on "Your Inner Dr. Seuss," another on drawing 100 experimental portraits. Sonheim hopes to return adults to the creative innocence of childhood. A good choice for artists of any level.

    LOVE IT!

    This is an excellent guide for beginning and intermediate "drawers." There's a creative variety of labs that can be done in any order and for as long as desired. It's great on my non-color Nook!

    Very helpful

    The excercises in this book are varied enough so that almost anyone can be inspired. This book is more gitting the pen to the paper than talking about the theroy of drawing. Very entertaining to read and makes a great refrence book.
