Painter's Wild Workshop

There are not many books like this one available. The book shares the creative ideas of 12 different artists, helping the art student expand his/her creative techniques using a variety of media. If you are into realism or figure drawing in its pure sense, this is not the book for you. If you are wanting to learn techniques to play with various paint media to create quasi-abstract or full abstract art, or abstract-realism then this is one of the few books to help you out. I thought it was well worth the $ in contrast to another review I read about this book in which the buyer returned the book.
