Pop Painting: Inspiration and Techniques from the Pop Surrealism Art Phenomenon by Camilla D'Errico
geekwayne's review
4.0
'Pop Painting: Inspiration and Techniques from the Pop Surrealism Art Phenomenon' by Camilla d'Errico is an inspirational work for those looking to kickstart their art, either professionally or just for creativity's sake.
I have seen Camilla D'Errico's art displayed at comic conventions. It's not completely my cup of tea, but there is always a lot of interest in her booth, so I wanted to learn more. This book includes a lot of her art, but focuses mainly on all kinds of technique. With topics on how to find inspiration, to picking out the right tools, to setting up an artist's studio, it's all very encouraging. Then the book goes in to detail with step by step examples on eyes, lips, hair, fur, baby animals, rainbow tigers and more.
The author comes across as serious about her work, but friendly enough to reach out to give advice. Her art is part of the pop surrealism movement. The subjects are mostly young girls with big, bright eyes. They have paint dripping down off of them, or birds in their hair or tentacles. Her technique is very good, and her advice to be patient and be your own person is welcome.
I'm not ready to pick up a brush yet, but I've certainly read less interesting art books.
