i've been doing lots of research for my upcoming online HOW TO PAINT AN OWL class! i think i now have 19 books and magazines out from the library! and the lovely and always amazing claudine hellmuth has long been an inspiration.
i dream of publishing a technique book like hers someday! there are so many fun projects inside! sometimes i just love paging through how-to books to feel that kindred spirit-ness with other artists. it's the same reason i adore wandering blogs. there's so much inspiration out there!
and for that same reason, i've been rereading some of my favorite SARK books! i just love the layout and the way she puts a personal spin on everything to let you know just how she got through this or that. to me, it makes them a wonderful place to go for self-reflection.

ReplyDeleteGreat post Juliette! These look like good resources! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the library! Great looking books and I love The Chronicles of Narnia - I love getting lost in other worlds. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOooh, lots of good reading here--along with a cup of tea--perfect!
ReplyDeletethe chronicles of narnia are one of my absolute favs! i have that exact same book too. i read it all the time and i can't wait until my girls are old enough to read to them.
ReplyDeletethanks for the mention of my books! glad you got the Beyond the Unexpected one! it's now out of print :(
ReplyDeletethank you, claudine! i loved Beyond the Unexpected!
ReplyDeleteI love looking at all these "How too books" also. I do not have any of Claudines. Although i think I will have to get one. But I do have the SARK books. Thanks Juliette for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have that *very* same copy of the Chronicles of Narnia!
ReplyDeleteGreat suggestions. When you look at Claudine's two books, you can see a big difference in her artistic style. I think it's interesting how she's evolved. The first one, while old, is chockful of great techniques that are still cutting edge today.
