Customer Reviews:
Gorgeous pictures but how do you get there?.......2007-07-15
I've owned this book for several years and have gone through all of the exercises at least twice over those years. I am totally puzzled by the other reviewer's rave reviews. Jan's paintings are absolutely gorgeous; in fact, she is my favorite watercolor painter- but don't expect to be able to paint anything like her after studying this book. There are many, many important techniques covered in this book, but the descriptions of how to do the different techniques are completely inadequate. There are only four steps for each demonstrated painting and there is no way you can produce a picture anything like Jan's by following those steps- unless you already know how to do those techiques. And I am an intermediate painter, not a beginner, just so you know. If you want to buy a book with lots of pictures of beautiful flower paintings in it, go for it, but don't expect to become a flower painter from it.
a great teacher!.......2005-08-03
Jan does a supurb job of simplifying a complex painting problem.
What a fine teacher! An excellent book to keep in a painters library.
Magnificent is the only word.......2001-06-03
This book is detailed, well illustrated, well written, and filled with clear instructions for all levels, but even a novice could paint a respectable flower picture in minutes by following the techniques in this book. Intermediate students should be able to paint one that would sell in minutes.
A must for floral artists.......1999-06-30
A very straightforward instruction book which helps one achieve a wonderful glow in florals as well as other subject matter.
One of the BEST books on watercolor floral painting!.......1998-08-07
This is one of those books that you read from cover to cover, cause you just can't get enough! After following Jan's instructions on the 40% rule of shadows, my florals now not only glow, but they have taken on a real three dimensional look!!

A DEFINITE FIND.......2001-05-09
Although this book is out of print, I've taken just a few moments and discovered that Amazon.com has several copies through their Z-shops. This is a definite find: a must-own, must-read for anyone interested in the history and art of Photography.
Newhall was the first curator of the Department of Photography in New York City's Museum of Modern Art and, finally, the founding curator at the International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House in Rochester, N.Y.
This book is a wonderful, charming, fact-filled, incident-filled volume of a life dedicated to creating an Art form, chock full of fascinating reminiscences of the likes of Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Edward Weston, Walker Evans and so many others...certainly every important name in Photography during Newhall's lifetime. It is beautifully, gracefully, wittily written and includes letters, diary entries and many, many black & white photographs--some of them personal "snapshots."
Through my own ignorance, I had no idea who Newhall was before I picked up the book (I bought it simply because of the subtitle: "Memoirs of a Life in Photography") and now, because of Newhall's intimate writing style, I feel I "know" a very important adventurer and force in the 20th century art world.

Channel Zero
ASIN: 1929998376 |
Book Description
In a city filled with trust-fund babies and armchair revolutionaries, Heavy Parker rules the punk scene as a benevolent dictator. He sings lead in a local hardcore band. He puts out zines, pseudo-revolutionary material, and flypost propaganda about town. It's good to be king. Or at least it is until Missy, Heavy's girlfriend, goes away for college. How can a guy like Heavy be expected to handle a long-distance romance? Short answer: He can't. Missy is out of sight and Heavy's mind is already drifting towards his next sexual conquest. A king can't be expected to live without a queen. But can he maintain his throne when Missy returns, reborn as a true NYC punk and pissed as all hell? Can Heavy survive a true group of hardcores invading his turf or will he just wind up POUNDED? This new trade paperback collects the critically acclaimed three-issue miniseries by Brian Wood (COUSCOUS EXPRESS, CHANNEL ZERO) and Steve Rolston (QUEEN & COUNTRY, MEK).
Customer Reviews:
The message of pounded.......2006-06-07
D. Sukara's review was a bit odd. The entire point of the comic, from page one to page end, is that the trust fund, mocha-ordering, wanky little Canadian guy is completely unpunk. The book is about his punk pretentions being stripped away as he is (get this...) POUNDED! The plot can be summarized in one short phrase, "loser with punk pretentions gets pounded." I mean if you couldn't figure out that a book about a guy getting pounded was meant to show him as a doof and not as an admirable fellow, then perhaps you have reading comprehension issues.
That is my response to D. Sukara. As far as a general review of the book, it is not very memorable. If you enjoy reading about faux punks who get their asses handed to them (with minimal violence) then this will make you smile. Otherwise, there are tons of better comics out there to read. Several by the same author.
Ugh.......2005-01-29
Okay, Brian Wood's got some good things going on, but "Pounded" was just...well, it was pretty bad. I saw the cover and thought "cool little indy comic about a violent punk, possibly - or hopefully - from London, or L.A. Awesome!"
Instead, I'm given a Canadian punk (not like there's anything wrong with that), who is everything a punk is not. No punk rocker has a trust fund, a penthouse apartment that his daddy pays for, a range rover, and an addiction for Starbucks drinks that take five minutes to order (I think it was like orange mocha non-fat lattes, or something wanky like that). And it seems like the story is about him learning the error of his ways, as he cheats on his girlfriend (that, apparently, is what being a "true punk" is really about), and everything he had is taken from him-temporarily. And right when you think he's going to realize how wrong he's been all this time, he kind of gets it all back. And within like two pages. So, I guess it's telling you that it's good not to learn from your mistakes.
And it finishes with our "punk" hero, standing on the balcony of his penthouse pad with the view of practically all of Canada, wearing his designer clothes, once again declaring himself the punk rock king. I don't know if this whole thing was supposed to be a joke. Wood must've wanted us to read REAL deep into it if that was the case. But...I think this is just a...BAD STORY. Nice artwork, but unless you like watching train wrecks, or seeing bad movies just to know how bad they are, avoid this like the plague.
bland, very bland.......2003-10-22
I can't think of too many people liking this comic. In my opinion, who ever created this made the story take a back seat. The cover suggests violence, a lot of it. No one loves comic book violence more then me, just as long as it makes sence. This trade paper back has maybe 5 pages of fighting at the very end (very disapointing) and the rest of the comic is a teeny bopper soap opera. I like the art style, and hope that in the future the artist of this sad comic might find a story worth telling.
Rock on, Van City!.......2003-03-28
I've been a fan of Brian Wood's art and storytelling since I stumbled across Channel Zero, but Pounded holds a special place in my graphic novel collection. Like others, I read the preview strips on Oni's web site (which are collected in the back of this book) and simply HAD to know where this story would lead. I have fallen in love with this tale of a punk-rock-posers fall from grace and brutal redemption. My only complaint is that there needs to be more. Every time I read this book I flip the pages again and again expecting there to be more chapters at the end. I've fallen so in love with these characters that I demand to know more about their lives, dammit! I even found myself making futile attempts to mimic Steve Rolston's simplified but highly characterized art. Even with thick black outlines, he makes Vancouver feel so real.
