    • The Artist's Art is not Inspiring
I bought this book from a second hand seller and I am glad I did not pay full price. I bought it because it had good reviews, but really could not get into the book after I bought it, simply because the art in the book was not inspiring at all. I looked up the artist's work and I do not care for any of it. His paintings look like sketches and not finished paintings. His skill level is amateurish. He even encourages the reader not to worry about details. He uses mostly high chroma colors in very simplistic compositions. Some of the objects in his paintings are distorted or out of proportion. So I am asking myself, if I really want to learn art from Charles Sovek's point of view. Probably not. ... show more

Charles Sovek holds nothing back. He explains how to use the book, and get started painting. There are 30 exercises In this book. If you want to learn to paint or improve your ability to paint, this is a fantastic book. Also great for those who want to review the fundamentals of painting. 152 pages in this book. A favorite in my library of art books! ... show more

    • Wonderful Workshop at Home
Charles is a wonderful teacher. If you want to learn basics of painting and get a great start into being an artist, this book is a must. A great thing about this book is that you'll learn how to express yourself. Sometimes beginners copy their teacher's style, but not with Mr. Sovek. His encouraging manner will help you to develop your style. He also gives great advice how to overcome fears and frustration that we often get. It is one of my favorite art instruction books I've ever bought. ... show more

    • No my cup of tea
Kind of disappointed as this book was highly recommended in another book. No a keeper for me, will be passing this one on.

    • Great Instruction & Exercises
I found this book extremely helpful. The lessons are organized in a way that build over time. I prefer a more organized course of study that covers the major principles of painting, and that's exactly what this book/course provides. Well worth it. It's probably best for beginner and intermediate painters. Although even seasoned pros can likely pick up a tip or two. ... show more
