Great book for artist

I bought this book for my wife, who is taking art classes. She said it is one of the best books she ever had on painting. She rates it 5 stars.

Useful Book

I've owned this book for a couple of years now, and it has helped me many, many times. The "ideas" themselves are okay, but I love this book because of all the paintings. I have tried new techniques, design elements and subjects because I find something inspirational in a painting contained within the book. I browse through it often. The paintings are all very different, which is a plus, not just one style, subject or medium.

A great book for artists in all media!

This book has great ideas for subjects of paintings (and drawings), not matter if your medium is oils, pastels, acrylics, watercolors, pencil, or charcoal. The examples are very good artwork. Good for beginners who do not know what to paint and experts who are "stuck" without inspiration.

wonderful tips

This is a fabulous book. It helped me to see and want to paint the magic and beauty in ordinary objects. Katchen shows a wonderful selection of artist's works. This book is full of inspiring ideas for choosing and arranging objects and colors for delicious paintings.
