Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I should begin by stating I am not an artist. I've very recently been experimenting with abstract art and art journaling using watercolors, but I saw a review of this book and was intrigued to learn more about the use of alcohol inks. My book arrived yesterday, and I was impressed from the moment I started reading through it. The author/artist does an exceptional job of explaining this art form and I particularly like her attitude regarding process over product when approaching art. I was so impressed with this book, I actually ordered a second copy for my sister who happens to be an artist with a Masters Degree in Art Education. I'm eager to hear her reaction to this book, but I'm guessing it will be similar to mine. I am hoping to transform an area of my garage into a small studio area for my blossoming interest in watercolor (and now alcohol inks) as art mediums. The book is full of examples presented by a variety of artists working with alcohol inks and the photos are both inspiring and beautiful. Instructions for exploring alcohol inks are clearly explained and the author's enthusiasm is contagious. I would highly recommend this volume for both the established artist AND the person new to painting or expressing themselves via art.
