 A Must Read for all Artists February 26, 2000
36 out of 37 found this review helpful
What a wonderful book - I go back to it again and again. While "Art and Fear" is a great source of information, it is a little dry. I truly enjoy reading "The Blank Canvas", because it is a concise and witty source of inspiration. I wish I had read it sooner!
excellent November 17, 1999

ExcellentThe Blank Canvas is an excellent guide for visual arts students. It is concise, insightful and packed with practical suggestions for `getting started', nurturing ideas and developing one's painting/drawing. All of this valuable advice, plus insights from other painters and illustrations in a little over 100 pages. It's a small treasure. I like this book a lot!. I highly recommend it. Another wonderful, very special book for visual artists is Roberta Weir's The Artist's Way of Seeing.

This small book is fun to read, but it's usefulness is limited mainly to painters. Not as good as "Art & Fear", which addresses the same material in a more general and insightful way.
Enormously helpful strategies to keep from getting stuck August 23, 1998

I disagree strongly with the previous review. While this book is targeted at beginning artists, I think there is much to offer those further along in their careers. I return to it regularly. I would also recommend a book called "Art and Fear." They should sell these two books together and make every aspiring artist read them (during breaks from their copious studio work, of course...). It's nice to see a small book like this one packed full of useful ideas.
