I once heard an artist, defined as a person in this particular case who actually earns a living through "creating", describe her process as similar to making dough:  "I work on it until it squeaks, and then I know it's done."  It's not like she follows a bunch of rules, she "sees" and "knows".  I, on the other hand, pretty much know when I finally see, but am often lost on the path to getting there.  This book will be enormously helpful because it lays down helpful guidelines on how to achieve the results I am always stumbling to make.  Perhaps artists are born and not made, but I can still hope that a large portion is from perspiration rather than inspiration - - - and this guide provides the exercise in as painless, entertaining, and useful format as possible.  Certainly, my images will improve if never attain fine art status.
