### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I SO NEED THIS BOOK!
*by B***N on February 21, 2006*

I am one of the "beginning artists" at whom this book is aimed. (Just give me a moment to giggle at the person who complained that a book called "The Blank Canvas" is for painters. Okay, I'm over it.) This concise, easy to digest (but certainly not simplistic) text gives suggestions on how to find subjects on your own, which is where I am in my art, I need to know HOW to get ideas. It's not written in that mucky, "Vein of Metallic Glitter" mode, either. I believe anyone who makes visual art (drawings, paintings, sculpture, computer art, for instance)--and who is "stuck"--will find this useful. Also, it gives very helpful advice on good art habits that will help you keep flexible and open to what actually constitutes a subject. (BTW, if you are a writer, I'd suggest "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott or "Writing Down the Bones" by Natalie Goldberg, for similar but more writerly :) suggestions.)Well worth what I paid for it, and a welcome addition to my art library.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good advice for any artist, in any medium, at any level.
*by C***I on June 5, 2018*

I started drawing about sixty years ago, when I was four years old. I love this book. Everyone should have a copy nearby. It's a small book, about five by six inches, so it'll fit in your field kit. The best thing about this book is that you can open it to any page and find good, down to earth advice that'll settle you down into your art making place. It's not just for painters, and it's not just for beginners. It's meant for any artist in any medium who has the crazy desire to create something from nothing.

While there are quite a few good books about making art, particularly for beginners, this one is especially helpful. It offers just enough, but not too much: plenty of ideas & approaches to finding & using one's creative potential, without overwhelming the reader with more than can be handled at one sitting. It's not so much about technical advice as it is about reframing the ways you perceive making art … or, to be more specific, how to get past the popularly assumed pre-conceptions about making art, which can trip you up & entangle you before you even start. Often it simply invites you to pause & really mull over what you want to make & how you want to make it: really, asking you to consider why you're making art in the first place, what it does for you, and to follow that wherever it might lead. Not so much a rule book as a guide & suggestion book, in other words. Recommended!
