Okay but could have been better 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

The first thing that I noticed about this book is it had a lot of pictures and not alot of info on how to airbrush t-shirts. However I did find the book useful in creating new designs and to know what needed to be done and in what order. Over all it is a good book to get you exited about airbrushing on textiles but doesn't give you enough information on on to do it.

Editorial Review:

Good and Complete 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This book is a very pleasing combination of words and pictures. The author spreads the illustrations throughtout the text, drawing the reader into the flow of his thoughts. It is a complete treatment of the Shakers - from their history, their way of life and worship and their enduring legacy to our country. Mr. Horsham acknowledges the existence of a small number of Shakers in the Sabbathday Lake community in Maine which is a pleasant change from many of these type of books. Although the main focus of his work is on the beautiful worksmanship of the Shakers he does a credible job of explaining their theology and the all encompassing effect that theology had on their lifes and work. He also includes information on the spread of the Shakers community as well as the contraction that they experienced as the society around them changed, making their lifestyle less attractive to the "world's people". Definately a good value for the price, enjoyable for the neophyte Shaker enthusiast as well as the more "obsessed" among us.

This collection of paintings by an artist most are not familiar with is wonderful for anyone regardless of art appreciation experience. These are the most whimsical little treasures you will ever see...most reproduced actual size...mere inches! This is one of my top 50 books out of my collection of thousands! CHECK IT OUT!!

A tiny treasure 5 out of 5 stars.

I agree with the previous review. I bought this book years ago at an art gallery in Hawaii. The pictures of Brennan's paintings are clever and intriguing; they make you smile. Though they are only prints, I may mat and frame a few on them one day, if I can bear to tear them out of the book!

Simply Adorable 5 out of 5 stars.

Excellant artistic quality 5 out of 5 stars.
13 of 13 people found this review helpful.

It is 8x10 glossy air brush works of the artist. A good bit of it is women/fantasy women, which is the reason my husband/artist purchased it, but it also includes some of his advertisement art, which is very good. A lot of steel & chrome. It includes his short biography & a behind the scenes of his sketches. Excellant book

Hajime Sorayama shows his talent off! 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 12 people found this review helpful.

I look it as this, he is showcasing his talents. His diverse choice of material and textures, was a challenge to himself. He demanded much of himself, and to us he delivers! A fun, exciting joyride, causing you to pause and imagine the life, he so closely brings to you with his paintings. -Kevin

This could be the best begining airbrush book on the market. 5 out of 5 stars.
11 of 11 people found this review helpful.

I checked out about 40 airbrush books from the library and this book was by far the best of them all. I was excited about this book from the moment I opened it. It gives an understanding of the art through step by step instructions, techniques, and stokes. The prodjects can be easily accomplished with a little practice and time. After gaining an understanding of simple of strokes and airbrush control, you can make some great T-shirts! This book is PERFECT for the begining airbrush artist. If you have an interest in airbrushing, this is the perfect book to find out what it's all about.

An excellent book for beginners. 5 out of 5 stars.

Have you ever flipped through a airbrush book or been to the Airbrush T-shirt shop and thought how amazingly talented these artists must be. Well I have. I always wondered how much talent and decades of experience these people been through to create such amazing images. This book is excellent for anyone. From the person that sketches pictures in their notebook during a boring lecture to the person who wished he/she can draw like that guy. I am the guy who wished he could draw. This book teaches the basic rules you need to know to start airbrushing in a simple step-by-step manner and includes descriptive color illustrations. It is possible to become a airbrush artist and this book is a great way to start you off. It's easier than you think. All you have to do is follow the simple rules and have the patience and time to practice. Kai Chen

Here's a sumptuous feast of color and fantasy 5 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

This is a real eye opener of a book if you are looking for an in depth retrospective of the artist's body of work! Burne-Jones is at last receiving his fair due of recognition as witnessed by the recent Met show in the Summer of 1998. This book showcases his many merits, including a unerring color and design technique applied to fantastical subjects. What makes the book so irresistible is the wealth of color plates accompanied by detailed explanations. It also helps that the authors were thoughtful enough to leave out any stuffy, academic narrative that overburdens this genre.

A magnificent book for a magnificent exhibition 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

To visit the Burne-Jones exhibition at New York's Metropolitain Museum of Art is a thrill beyond describing. It is like being surrounded by old friends of the sort usually found in dreams.The stunning, fully illustrated catalogue that accompanies the show is perhaps the best catalogue I have seen, most notably for its impeccable and stimulating essays, and for its phenominal wealth of color reproductions. This book is a stunner, despite two or three flipped pictures( which I guess could happen to anyone in the rush to get such an involved publication ready in time!) I would advise all bookshops, libraries and Burne-Jones lovers to order this book now for its September release. It is sure to be the most valuable book on its subject for many years to come.

Excellent examples and wonderful illustrations 5 out of 5 stars.
47 of 47 people found this review helpful.

The Airbrush Artist's Pocket Palette is filled with wonderful techniques to create hundreds of effects and textures. I would not know how to create hair, skin, wood, metallic surfaces, stone or highlights with my airbrush without this book.
You will need to have some knowledge about color palettes and airbrushes to fully understand the techniques descibed in the book.
The book also contains several pieces of completed artwork. The techniques they used to create the paintings are described with the corresponding painting.
I have enjoyed this book since the day I bought it.

This book is bad book for a beginner. 2 out of 5 stars.
12 of 12 people found this review helpful.

As a beginner I found this book to be inadequate for my needs. There are 63 pages of nicely spiral bound(book lies flat) examples of various effects. That is to say... 63 pages of coloful rectangles with some comments about how to achieve a particular effect. It's sort of like reading the ingredients for a recipe but not telling you how to mix the ingredients or cook it.
I imagine that this book has some use to an experienced airbrusher but I suspect that once you have the experience the book is not very useful and is merely a nice 63 page of pretty rectangles.
This was not a good book for me.
