I got this book in hopes of taking away some new techniques for painting and also to inspire other areas in my creative life. As I read through it, I realized, I really didn't know anything about pop surrealism painting. And to be honest, I found a lot of them images to be disturbing. That being said, the paintings are all very well done. The attention to detail is great. And while it's not a style I will find myself painting, the creativity is definitely to be admired. The artist does a great job with facial features and invoking a particular mood. There are lots of instructions, and a lot of pictorial guides. And the book is also full of her colorful artwork. As mentioned, the paintings that are a little to dark for my taste, I'll just leave be, but I do feel I take from quite a few tips and techniques, and see things in a new light. This would be a great book for those already painting this particular style, or those trying to broaden their horizons.
I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
