 Rating:  - Outstanding!This is an insightful book to help artists of all levels get in touch with their inner self through a variety of exercises and explorations. The open-ended exercises could easily be adapted for use by artists of all ages. However, more male artists should have been featured.

The idea is, when you run out of subjects, use yourself. You don't have to be an experienced artist or even particularly good at drawing or painting because mixed media has so many possibilities. You can sew your portrait, manipulate ... Read More Rating: - I Love This Book!I pre-ordered Mixed-Media Self-Portraits and was thrilled when it finally arrived. It was worth waiting for and everything I hoped it would be. I'm a mixed-media artist and have been wanting to do some self-portraits for a long while but didn't know where or how to start. The title says exactly what the book is about: inspiration and techniques. Just thumbing through the pages makes you want to jump right in and create your own self-portrait.
