Book Review, "Pop Painting"

9781607748076 (125×147)
I knew nothing about this artist, camilla d'errico or the genre of "pop surrealism" when i began this book, "pop painting".  This is  a beautiful book, filled with dozens of full color illustrations which take the reader thru the artist's entire process.from concept to finished painting.Along with step by step instructions, camilla d'errico includes chapters on tools, techniques and how to take your work from hobby status, to presenting a portfolio to galleries...valuable information for any artist. There is also a section of how to deal with rejection which artists of all genres face...and is all too often unaddressed.
While it turns out that this is not a style of painting I particularly enjoy, i was very impressed with the quality of the work
I received this book from Blogging for Books.,
