Pretty good
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Great Food for thought. I'm almost finished with it and have gotten a lot out of it so far. I highly recomend it. But, I'm an artist and a male, so I'm rubbed the wrong way everytime the author refers to the artist as "she". Give me a break. Help me feel like you are talking to me. If you bought something of mine I wouldn't say "Thank you, Ms. Jackman".
artist's mentor review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
As an artist and teacher with forty years experience I have come to the conclusion that fewer "how to paint" books and more "how to think" books should be published. The Artist's Mentor is a brilliant compilation of the thoughts from the great minds that have changed not only art, but the world as we know it today. This book is a friend in the studio and maybe ironically, the best "how to paint" book ever written. Robert Wilson FRAS Fellow and Vice President of the Royal Art Society of NSW, Australia.
More than a Mentor
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
A friend gave me this book as a present. I was rather expecting more of the usual 'feel the fear and do it anyway' self-help guff but The Artist's Mentor really was a revelation. Wonderfully well-researched, helpfully structured quotations tied together thematically by Jackman's non-partisan and clear-headed prose, build into a great little book that's a deal more than a mentor, it's also a handy reference and an absorbing insight into the painterly mind. I am a writer by profession but I found this book fascinating and useful for my own work. An excellent workbook for anyone interested in creative endeavour of all kinds.
