Lavishly produced using impeccable digital color separations and the finest printing, this catalogue raisonne of Chagall's lithographs documents 1050 works, each with complete identifying signature and edition information. This sumptuous production succeeds as both an exhibition catalog (for a show in Stuttgart to Hamburg this spring) and a catalogue raisonn of 1050 Chagall lithographs drawn from the incomparable collection of his printer for 35 years, Charles Sorlier (192190).

Find Best Price at Amazon"In my mind Chagall is "The World's Greatest Decorative Artist," Nevertheless, one of my most prized possessions is the Teriade published, Chagall illustrated, 'Daphnis & Chloe': The kind of book that should be a book pirate's most-treasured plunder. This book is kind of a reprint of that book, but it goes further by including all of the Chagall lithographs in the collection of Sorlier, his longtime printer. Alas, this additional info, makes the present book merely the most comprehensive catalog raisonne of Chagall's lithographic work available and not the definitive raisonne: Unfortunately that book does not exist. The book's editors likely felt comfortable doing this because the museum show was right there, forgetting that the present book would become the show's reliquary."
"THIS DOES NOT CONTAIN THE COMPLETE LITHOGRAPHIC WORKS OF CHAGALL."
"I knew that this was a catalogue raisonné before I bought it, but was hoping just the same to see more one-page illustrations, although the ones that are there (for example, the complete paintings for Daphnis and Chloé) are wonderful. In fact, I would say that this book, completed with "Chagall" by Jacob Baal-Teshuva (Taschen)-- if you could find it!-- would be the best two buys you could do."
"Chagall was such a prolific artist that of course any book that is a complete catalog of anything he did, let alone lithography, would have to have small pictures or require a forklift."
"Many of Sorlier's prints are "HC" prints or "Epreuve de collaborateur" prints in which case you may have to seak another source to discover the edition numbers for the specific print you're researching."
"I have seen many, many Chagall Litographs and books on them and this one is the BEST!"
"This book is a must for any Chagall collector or just those who enjoy his work."
"This was the most wonderful book I have ever seen on Chagall, and believe me, I've seen them all."
―June Wayne, founder.

"My instructor, a master printmaker from the early Tamarind school, used a predecessor to this book as the classroom guide."
"People always tell me the old tamarind is better for stone lithography, and I'm sure that may be true, but I want to learn the new things going on with plate/stone lithography as well as some more modern techniques."
"Exactly as described promptly shipped."
"Some context of Lithography, but mostly techniques and processes."

"Gorgeous book!"
"This book makes learning hand lettering SO easy!"
"BUT, the blank pages.... About 45% of the book is blank pages, not to mention all the white space. Pages 96-110 are ENTIRELY BLANK but for the page number, and so is almost half of the book."
"I should have listened to the other people who reported that this book was full of nothing, but I was encouraged by the the claim that additional content was added."
"If you want to learn upper case, you have to also buy Hand Lettering 201."
"In purchasing a $30.00 book I expect more inside information, tips and tricks and showing me HOW she achieves her style of lettering, etc... For example, the flourishes pages literally just tells you that flourishes and illustrations are great to add to your lettering then shows you a 2" x 2" example of the author's own "Bless Your Heart" design (with zero instructions on how she achieved it) and has about a 6"x3" area next to that design that says "Practice Here.""
"Got the lower case letters down and then realized there's no upper case letters to practice to!!"

"I cried when I got to the end of this book because I know I will have to wait till they write a new one."
"The Firelord is cooling his heels in prison and his son, Zuko, is doing his best to work with the other kingdoms and restore order and balance to the world. But trying to undo a hundred years of occupation of the other kingdoms has unexpected consequences."
"It is not in whatever way predictable, in my opinion, and the complicated relationships in the Royal FIre Nation family are more fleshed out than ever before. As for the artwork, the artistic team continues to produce illustration that shows great attention to detail, including the very obvious physical and mental changes that the characters experience as they go through adolescence."
"It continues the life of Aang, Katara, Zuko, Sokka, Toph, Mai, Suki, Iroh and Ozai. This trilogy is named the promise because of the relationship that Zuko and Aang have after the war. The books revolves around this Promise. I suspect this comes from Sokka repeatedly calling Aang and Katara's PDA, Oogie."

Dunn takes the learner into the importance of different ways of drawing. I think what is important about this book is that Dunn is very aware of how he learned and what his questions were and he tried very hard to make a book that would have helped him."
"He has spent most of his time teaching people for free and he put all of his knowledge into this wonderful book."
"The book helped me get back into inking and I enjoyed it more than painting digitally."
"It's really safe to say that here in this book all the information is greatly structured. You can find all the nuts and bolts which are just vital for anyone who's anything serious about drawing itself. Just think of the following: if you don't know 'the letters' than how you're gonna write? Well the book's called 'a simple guide'."
"I have watched and rewatched these videos so many times that I made a personal vow to buy his book as soon as it became available in order to take a small step towards repaying him for all of the hours he commits to his fans."
"I have been watching Alphonso Dunn on YouTube for over three years and everything I love about his teaching there is found in his book. I have taken MANY art courses and most I paid for, but Mr Dunn's teachings go above and beyond any of the teaching I received else where."
"This book is all I have been working with for several weeks and I'm having fun and see improvement in my drawings. I do mostly line and wash and this book helps me really better understand light and shadow, as well as texture."

Find Best Price at Amazon"As adults, we over-complicate so much, and this book teaches us that maybe slowing things down and using just the basics can give very surprising results."
"There is a good reason why every reviewer is giving this book 5 Stars. To open the book, the author provides an extensive section on suggestions for teachers helping the beginning artist. From the Introduction: "Through Art we have the opportunity to showcase our personal strengths in a meaningful way." Some of my favorite drawing lessons: The "Ancient Masks" section, the "Basketball Hoop" drawing, and the "Foreshortened person" lesson. ▲ Honestly, Catherine Holmes has produced a MAGNIFICENT book for students and teachers alike. The amount of time spent producing this book must have been enormous."
"A discussion with a friend got me interested in trying out sketching and drawing as a fun and creative outlet. This is a great eBook for two groups of beginners: 1) the instant gratification type: you just got your pencils and sketch pad and you just want to start drawing things. Okay, drawing attempts is a better description, but my bad art is not what's reviewed here :). The second group of beginners are ones who want to learn more, in an easy to digest format. So we can't have it both ways :). The ebook is comfortable to read on the 7 inch Kindle Fire tablet (or anything larger), and you can zoom on the pictures whether you have your device in portrait or landscape orientation. Some of them have a semi-usable image zoom option (Paperwhite, classic Kindle with Keyboard), so if you are patient, you can also go through the drawing exercises with those. The tiny basic Kindle does not have image zoom, so it's not very useful if you are doing the drawing exercises (but still fine if you want to read the text parts)."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The pages of the book are single-sided and are perforated at the bound edge so you can remove the page to color or to frame afterwards. The images have a wide range, including: an owl sitting on a wildly decorated crescent moon, an owl with butterflies, a "smart" owl amongst his/her books, owls on a wooden rocking horse, pirate owls, fairy tale owl, totem pole owls, steampunk owl, the owl and the pussycat (yes, cat included!)."
"She has filled this book with Charming Owls that entrance you and entwined them with intricate, captivating, unparalleled combinations of patterns, embellishing the backgrounds, scenery, borders, and even adorning the Owls creating illustrations that will make this your favorite coloring book, and you won’t be able to put it down. All Markers and Gel Pens leak through the pages so place two pieces of paper under the page you are coloring to prevent damage to the next page. If you love this book, you will also want to look at Marjoie Sarnats first coloring book (Creative Haven Cats)."
"This is a really cute and charming coloring book perfect for owl aficionados and colorists who like quirky pictures."
"The attached photos show a page from this book colored with the Sharpie Ultra-Fine Tip 24 pack markers and the very minimal bleed-through."
"I love owls so I'm probably bias about this coloring book."
"Markers will bleed through, but that's easy to fix with a couple of sheets of paper behind that one your coloring."
"This makes using water colored pencils and markers easier as they do not bleed through to the other picture. I do put another piece of paper or thin cardboard in between so that it also helps to catch the bleeding if I am being heavy handed."
"5 bucks for a coloring book?"
