Such a thorough book and great fun!I love this book! She gives so many words of encouragement and hope for aspiring artists. Very inspirational! Love seeing Greg in the forward! Also the step by step tutorials are really great and give perfect guidance. Highly recommend this book!
I actually checked this out at my library and got to look through it to see the pictures. It was wonderful, but I haven't had a chance to read it. As soon I went to renew it, someone else had made a request for it, so I did not get a chance. Well, I guess that tells you how popular the book is. The pictures are definitely high quality and beautiful.
An upbeat and transparent book regarding techniques and thoughts behind painting. I like Camilla's voice throughout the book; it is engaging and encouraging. I am intrigued by these water based oils which are a step up from watercolors, but not as intimidating as full oils. Very nice book for those interested in painting.
Camilla d'Errico's pop paintings have captivated me from the first second I discovered them a couple of years ago. She is a pop surrealist painter, illustrator, character creator and comic artist fromVancouver. Her art is amazing. I had read through books I could find of hers -in stock -in different book stores the past couple of years. "Tanpopo", "Sparrow", and "Femina Fauna", were a few of the books I viewed. Her creations are colorful fascinating beautiful women - playful - exotic- many with
I was so excited when I was approved for a free review copy of this book (thanks Penguin Random House!). I love looking at art, I love doing art, I love thinking about and reading about art... I spend lots of times in my university library's art folio stacks.The quality of this book is great, and the artwork inside is beautiful and reproduced very well. In the first section of the book (the first ten chapters or so), Camilla d'Errico talks about what pop surrealism is, what inspires her, how she...
Ms. d'Errico presents some of her works in pop surrealism, showing those curious her techniques as she worked from a rough idea to a finished painting. Not quite as handy as her Pop Manga: How to Draw the Coolest, Cutest Characters, Animals, Mascots and More.
This is a wonderful book. Not only is it beautiful, but it is actually going to be helpful to artists. Full of how-to's and vibrant, full-page images, D'Errico's Pop Painting is a must for anyone who loves and wants to learn this flashy, interesting style of art. I think the most helpful resource that this book provides is the question and answer portion at the end where most commonly encountered problems are tackled and solved.
Though Camilla d'Errico's art is vastly different from what I make, I found this an interesting book, with good suggestions that I intend to try. The panels showing her process were fascinating. I've been wanting to try birch panels, and after finishing the book, went out and got a few to give it a whirl. Thanks to Blogging for Books for sending me my copy. It's a keeper!
Camilla d'Errico is a well-know pop surrealist painter largely focussed on blending manga and surrealism. Lots of fantasy type girls mixed with unusual creatures (often, literally "mixed" with them where they share limbs or characteristics) and wonderful color palettes. This book has a delightful mix of her work, her spirit, and pretty practical approaches to painting that have worked for her. The size and quality of the art reproductions are great and when she breaks down in writing how she app...
I'd never heard of pop art before, although I'd seen Audrey Kawasaki's paintings, and I'm not a fan of most manga, but nonetheless, the richly colored, solidly composed cover drew me in at Michaels. The book is filled with vivid photographs of the artist's paintings, and introduces the reader to some unusual media, like water-soluble oils. But the thing I remember most about picking this book up and reading through it was the simple, direct feeling of happiness that the paintings and their descr...
A fun and inspiring book. I love reading about the work-flows and materials used by other artists, so enjoyed learning about Camilla's setup and approach to painting. The tutorials were helpful and I will definitely revisit them for tips in the future. She comes across as a very sweet and fun person who genuinely enjoys sharing her talents with others.
Camilla works has been so captivating and mesmerizing throughout the book!she teaches from the most fundamental- which is about the material and mental preparations. It's rare to find artist that talks about her thoughts and how to build up emotions into painting, so proud of her for writing it!!The painting tips and tutorials are intriguing too! Definitely must read!My favorite remark from the book: "For an artist, that artwork is part of you—it’s your soul. It’s a picture of who you are.""the
Very good book full of beautiful surrealism pictures. An excellent book for someone who wants to learn the craft. Highly recommend.
This book made me want to start painting with oils :) 4.5 stars
Three words: enlightening, generous, detailed.
This was the first mention of acrylic glazing medium that I ever encountered, and caused me to explore it a couple of years ago. It has since become indispensable to my practice.
Good for inspiration and ideas.
