Award-winning artist and author Marjorie Sarnat compiled this vast collection of prompts, ideas, and insights to provide a reading companion for students as well as amateur and professional visual artists. A complement to any studio or classroom library, this immensely useful volume is about ideas and helping artists find better ways to organise, manage, and develop inspiration. The practical and imaginative suggestions offer an opportunity to do more - and to do it better. AUTHOR: Marjorie Sarnat is the author and illustrator of Dover's bestselling Creative Cats Coloring Book and Owls Coloring Book as well as more than a dozen other books on art and creativity. The Chicago native is an award-winning mixed-media artist whose fanciful colouring book style evolved from her love of patterns, which she developed in the course of her work as a textile designer.
