excellent! submitted by fairytale on August 17, 2013, 9:56am This is an excellent book with great examples of the various drawing and painting exercises described in the book. Loved it - what a great resource for those interested in learning drawing and painting!

too many materials, too much travel submitted by camelsamba on June 22, 2015, 3:58pm When I requested this book from the library, I was focused on the "one drawing a day" part and not the "mixed media" in the subtitle. I was not expecting to have to buy a whole new range of materials to do one drawing a day! So then I skimmed the exercises to see if I could get at the core idea without the particular medium they suggested - in a few cases perhaps, but not overall. They really seemed to rely on the medium. And the exercises involved quite a bit of traveling around to specific types of sites, which also was not what I had in mind. So in the end, not what I was hoping.
