Don't miss this innovative book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Creating with Paint "Print on Demand Edition" (Paperback)
When was the last time a "real" artist painted like this? Who else would have thought to use gel pens, dimensional fabric paints, regular fabric paints and dyes, and, best of all, rubber stamps in one painting that can be used in about a million ways? Kahn paints on muslin, but you really can't tell it's fabric. By the time I finished a couple of pieces, I couldn't tell I had painted on fabric either. I think this is a real plus because then you can stick your painting on anything, however rough it may be, and have a beautiful, interesting, and highly unusual piece of art. Don't deprive yourself of it.

Glad I got it from the library....,
By Rikkim (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creating with Paint "Print on Demand Edition" (Paperback)
While this book does have some good ideas and techniques, I was put off by the repeated and blatant promotions of the author's line of stamps -- a little too self-serving. Also, since she used only her own stamps in the project examples -- as well as a very limited color palette -- there is a disappointing sameness to the look of the samples. Most books of this type show the work of multiple artists: More variety of styles and colors would have made Kahn's book much more interesting and inspiring.So, while I did come away with some ideas that I will use, I'm very glad that I borrowed the book from the library, rather than paying for it.

I was prepared to *like* this book. I absolutely love it. It is gorgeous, it has clear, easy-to-understand instructions for a multitude of projects, it is simply an inspiration. I am recommending it to every artist and crafter I know.
