Color as well as Light: Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Guide for the Realist Painter by: James Gurney (Gurney Journey)
Ranked #1 BEST SELLER inwards the Top 100 Painting Books - BEFORE it was published inwards Nov 2010 on the push clitoris of pre-publication sales - it has right away pretty much stayed at or really close the transcend always since.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Read my Book Review: Color as well as Light yesteryear James Gurney.

This majority was both the most pop majority almost icon as well as the transcend rated majority almost icon inwards 2011 for a few months.  It remained at the transcend of 1 or the other (as per my definitions of what's an fine art book!) for the whole of 2011.

It's really rare for an fine art majority to keep an average rating of 5 stars on Amazon every bit the numbers of reviews growth as well as all the same that's what this majority did inwards 2011.

It besides got the The Best Book yesteryear an Art Blogger Blue Ribbon from me.

One of the things I actually similar almost this majority is that it was conceived, written as well as designed yesteryear an creative individual who drove the production process.  It's non a publisher's majority per se - it's an artist's book.  As such it is total of first-rate content as well as had been marketed good inwards advance of its publication through the really expert piece of occupation of content appearing on Gurney Journey

Art majority publishers delight note!  I'm really certain in that location volition live to a greater extent than from other artists.  Maybe it's fourth dimension to review the nature of the publishing contract betwixt creative individual as well as publisher?

The Artist's Way: Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity [10th Anniversary Edition] by Julia Cameron 
An international bestseller, millions of readers direct hold institute it to live an invaluable guide to living the artist's life.Publisher
1950 days = nearly 5 as well as a one-half years inwards the transcend 100 arts books sold on Amazon - that's some achievement! Let's non forget that this majority is besides the instant edition as well as in that location was some other 1 before this!

I jurist quite a few of my readers direct hold got this majority on their shelves somewhere.


The Hare alongside Amber Eyes: Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Hidden Inheritance by: Edmund de Waal
This majority is non easily categorised every bit demonstrated yesteryear its rankings on Amazon.  I decided to continue it inside fine art history although non a conventional fine art history book.  In September 2010, Amazon rated it every bit the Amazon Best Book of the Month - which may but direct hold given it a piddling boost! ;)  It was the best selling fine art history majority betwixt September as well as Dec 2010 as well as March-October 2011.  It was transcend rated inwards Nov 2011.  It's besides doing exceptionally good every bit an ebook (separately listed).

It's besides won
Do besides accept a expect at the Edmund de Waal Netsuke Gallery to run across the existent affair as well as the balance of the collection.


The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by: Betty Edwards
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - run across my majority review.  A 4TH EDITION is to live published inwards Apr 2012

Sometimes I yell upward this majority has been to a greater extent than or less forever and that it volition larn on forever.  It is republished alongside a novel edition every few years as well as the large word is that a 4th edition is due out inwards April.  This majority has been consistently inwards the transcend 3 books almost drawing on Amazon.  It's besides been the best selling majority almost drawing for a really long time.  The entirely fourth dimension it drops out of the charts is when Amazon is messing alongside its formula.

Latterly 1 gets the impression people are awaiting eagerly for the 4th edition - at which betoken it frequently gets rebought all over again!


Wall as well as Piece by: Banksy
  • USA: (n/a) days inwards the transcend 100 arts books - Was consistently inwards the transcend 100 inwards the USA until the advent of music books as well as calendars at the terminate of 2011 made the transcend 100 for fine art completely meaningless! 
  • UK: 1828 days inwards the transcend 100 fine art books 
  • Amazon USA reviews: 4.8 out of 5 stars (102 client reviews) | Like (105) 
  • Amazon Great Britain reviews: 4.6 out of 5 stars (88 client reviews) | Like (18) 
Another really successful majority yesteryear an creative individual who doesn't accommodate to "the rules". It has been both a best selling and/or transcend rated fine art majority for a VERY VERY long time. I had to retire it from the charts before 2011 due to the agency it swamped everything else almost artists. This was the TOP RATED ARTIST/ART HISTORY BOOK JULY-DECEMBER 2011.

Which is your favourite?

I ain 4 of these books as well as I'm guessing quite a few of yous direct hold got at to the lowest degree one.

But which is your favourite or the 1 you'd most similar to have?
