Customer Reviews

Great book!

When I purchased this book, I was looking for a book that would explain a bit about how to awaken my inner sight and creative energy, a bit about creating mandalas and a bit about beginning art since I have minimal experience with art or mandalas. This book is perfect! The exercises are simple, elegant and well explained. Judith Cornell is an inspiring author and teacher. I think this book would suit artists of any level who want to imbue their work with light, gain confidence and connect with their inner source of creativity.

the basics of creating visual art and much more

Cornell's well-structured course offers a satisfying combination of basics and exercises that serve to stimulate and encourage individual creativity. The instruction is suitable for beginners, but also has something to contribute for those whose study of art may be more advanced. Exercises guide the student through the basics of composition, painting, drawing, and creating with color pencils. Cornell's aim, however, goes beyond teaching the basics of art. The structure of the exercises includes meditation techniques designed to enhance creativity. Emphasis is placed on learning to use values from light to dark to create compositions that vibrate with light.
