abstract by laura reiter - By: Fun Painter, 22 Mar 2008
I have many of the Collins learn to Pain series, this was by far the least useful. Very uninspiring - I learnt absolutely nothing from this. Too lazy to send it back so I gave it away to a young neice who was too polite to critize initiallly but when pressed expressed the view that it was "rubbish". Don't waste your money, I wish I hadn't.
Small but excellent - By: Ioannes, 17 Nov 2006
I bought this book as I had always struggled with abstract painting & thought it may help free up my style. It certainly did that as it's full of interesting tips & ideas that proved to bee very helpful. My only minor criticism would be that its to focused on water based paint. Some examples of acrylics or oils would have been useful.
However, I would recommend this book as it's worth the money.
Small but loaded - By: Alma, 27 Sep 2006
Though smalll in size, every page on this book is full of useful tips, ideas & inspiration! In its first part, the book explores colors, textures, elements of design & composition, then it proceeds to show various ways in which you can create an abstract, alll written in a clear language & accompanied by drawings & pictures at every step to clarify it. You could work on the tips in this book for at least one whole year! A gem. I strongly recommend it to anyone interested in exploring abstract painting.
