Review

Masterpiece Mix introduces the reader to an artist as she prepares to create a painting. As an introduction to types of painting we view still lives, landscapes, portraits, object and figure studies as well as sports. From her modest studio we take a tour of a city through a window which exposes the reader to all sorts of signs, placards, posters and marques visible on the streets below. What follows is a disappointment as the artist does not engage. The storyline is lost but the message that art is all around us has been sent.

This book will be best appreciated by art teachers and professional artist. One excellent feature is the lengthy end pages which elaborates upon each picture that is viewed within the book.

Overall Book Score: good
