Artistic JourneyBy Christy HydeckIm the type of gal. whos always a bit skeptical ordering a new book - I consider myself an advanced artist and always dread the possibility of being disappointed upon a new release. Really. who enjoys buyers remorse? Fresh ideas and perspectives are difficult to come by; but Susan Tuttle managed to not only impress me with her book - but inspire me as well.Its visually stunning. and truly a delight just to page through! However. the real value lies within the words. the techniques and often very personal glimpses into these artists lives. and creative processes. The diversity of styles. voices. and mediums presented here is extensive... genuinely offering that proverbial something for everyone.Artists at any level will find themselves inspired to try a new project. or look at something they may have already done. with a new viewpoint. There are tips and insights into overcoming artists block. dealing with the dreaded white canvas. interviews and oh-so-much more. Assemblage. Mixed-media. Art Dolls. Digital Art. Challenges. journaling. jewelry. photography. creative exercises and a plethora of other artistic goodness lies between these covers.Know the feeling you get after an evening with a close friend. who reveals just a bit of themselves you didnt see before? Exhibition 36 leaves me with that same inspired. touching feeling. Susan gathered an amazing array of creative souls. and so many of them allowed us a peek into their creative genius - priceless.This is a must have book; its on my shortlist of mixed-media gems.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. AwesomeBy S. LaFondSusan Tuttle has done an amazing and awesome job with the creation of this book. It is truly an art/technique book for artists of every level. The book is infused with artwork that is rich with both color and texture and more importantly. a very personal connection. The kind of connection with artwork that only happens when the artist is creating from that place that has the most meaning for them. I was touched by the often times. very candid thoughts from the artists on their own process they bring to the artwork which gives the reader an expanded way of experiencing mixed media art but also offers a way to tap into ones own artistic spirit.The layout of the book truly has the feel of having the pleasure of being given a private and personal. one of a kind art tour. Susan has pulled together the talents and gifts from so many amazing artists and writers. The techniques shared within its pages offer a delightful range and goes beyond being the typical how to book. The artists offer many different insights that add a level of energy and excitement to this book. There is something for everyone here.Excellent on every level. A book to be savored and absorbed.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great Artistic IdeasBy rose thymeThis book has a lot of wonderful works by a group of diverse artists. I have read many of the articles. and have learned a lot about techniques that they have developed. I cant wait to get a studio set up and to be able to play with some of the fantastic ideas in my own way! I will refer to this book often for inspiration.
