Unwrapping Some Illustrations
The Book
This delightful book gives readers permission to be imaginative, creative and unique when it comes to their artistic skills. But wait... what if your mind goes completely blank leaving your canvas empty in front of you? When that happens you are suffering from artist's block. Oh my, now that can be a serious problem right? Or is it?
One year Benford gets the best birthday surprise ever--his very first easel and canvas. He is so excited and suddenly realizes with all the possibilities the one he chooses has to be fantastic, just right, he cannot mess it up, just any old thing won't do. Oh noooo. Benford can't think of anything to paint because his mind is totally BLANK! Will painter's block win or can he free himself and follow his own instincts, ideas and heart to design a picture- perfect masterpiece of his very own?
This inspiring book encourages readers to step out and unleash creative ideas and have great fun while doing so. Who knows you may be the next Vincent Van Gogh if you have confidence in yourself!
The illustrations are vibrant, colourful and adorable. The author has cleverly named Benford's dog after the famous painter Vincent van Gogh and includes a short bio of the maestro at the end of the book which is very educational and interesting.
"If you hear a voice within you say 'You cannot paint; then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced." - Vincent Van Gogh
You will also find a list of how to "unblock blanks" which is very helpful. I love the book and highly recommend it.
