John Singer Sargent was an American artist; considered the "leading portrait painter of his generation" for his evocations of Edwardian era luxury. During his career; he created roughly 900 oil paintings and more than 2;000 watercolors; as well as countless sketches and charcoal drawings. His oeuvre documents worldwide travel; from Venice to the Tyrol; Corfu; the Middle East; Montana; Maine; and Florida. From the beginning his work was characterized by remarkable technical facility; particularly in his ability to draw with a brush; which in later years inspired admiration as well as criticism for a supposed superficiality. His commissioned works were consistent with the grand manner of portraiture; while his informal studies and landscape paintings displayed a familiarity with Impressionism. In later life Sargent expressed ambivalence about the restrictions of formal portrait work; and devoted much of his energy to mural painting and working en plain air.

I am really enjoying the book and look forward to continuing through the remaining chapters. In addition to this book I purchased the three other books; Pro Tools 101 and Pro Tools Power and Pro Tools Ignite. I recommend that anyone that is really interested in learning Pro Tools; start with Pro Tools for Dummies; and then as you progress through the book; find the chapters in the Pro Tools 101 Book that are related and work through those chapters as well. After you finish Pro Tools for Dummies; go and do the entire Pro Tools 101 book again before moving on to Pro Tools Power and Pro Tools Ignite.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
