A Pleasant SurpriseBy Roland LeeI have collected Rachel Wolfs Splash Watercolor Books for many years. so I looked forward to the release of her new "Strokes of Genius" Drawing annual with enthusiasm. The first release in the series was enjoyable. but I think the recently released "Strokes of Genius 2. Light and Shadow" is even better. In my watercolor and drawing classes I emphasize using sketchbooks to created quick value studies on location. so it was nice to see some quality examples of quick sketchbook studies in this book. However. there are also plenty of amazing studio drawings that I can imagine took countless hours to produce as well. In short. Strokes of Genius is a nice collection of drawings that run the gamut from quick and loose. to complex and tight. Expect to see a wide range of mediums. techniques. and subject matter in the pages of this well-organized compilation.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. great way of learning from other artists and amazing to ...By Nita Harpergreat way of learning from other artists and amazing to read how their thought process are so close to my own.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
