Review: This is when star ratings are useless. Did I read this in one sit? No. Was it unputdownable? No. Amazing narrative and yada yada? LOL! No. Was it an amazing book? YES *_* it made my brain hurt and had to restrain myself from procrastinating several times. I didn't enjoy the experience of reading it, but I fell in love with what Robert Henri had to say. It resonated within me. Not everything, nuh uh, and those parts where 10 times harder to read. - I highly recommend you to read the example pages so that you get an idea of what kind of text this is - This book is a compilation of letters and notes, even the foreword says "No effort has been made toward the form of a regular book". Yep, I noticed, my bad, i tried to read it as a book. My advice would be to read it like those books with inspirational quotes. Just read a chunk and get your artistic inspiration of the day. Too bad it doesn't have an index (even if the foreword says there is one at the end >-> there is none) so, most of the time you have no clue what he will be talking about in each chunk. It is highly philosophical, abstract and focuses mainly on concepts. It will inspire you if you are already following an artistic path and bore you to death if your artistic background consists only of "how to draw manga in easy steps" books. It does have practical and technical advice for figure drawing, use of colors and composition, but keep in mind that this is by no means meant to teach you anything practical, they are mainly letters and critiques given to art students with theoretical and practical knowledge under their belts. Some subjects he talks about: - What to pay attention to when drawing portraits. - Truly do art and not just copy what is in front of you. - Use techniques and medium to transmit that emotion you want to transmit. - Proper figure drawing. - Things to consider when using color. - Don't just follow what you are taught and never stop self-learning. - Paint the world as you see it and not as others wants you to.

Gerçekten sanatın ruhunu kelimelerle anlatıyor. Özellikle portre çalışmalarında ışık tutuyor! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***4 on 17 August 2024* This book is like having your famous and talented uncle giving you advice as you learn to paint well. It is just so good, no matter what page you turn to. I just open it willy nilly to see what he has to say for that day. I recommend trying that. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/254831951-the-art-spirit](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/254831951-the-art-spirit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
