I have here a series of recently published books by Nadia Russ on teaching / learning the ink pen drawing technique: “How to Draw Without Eraser: Children’s Guide to the World of NeoPopRealism”, “How to Draw NeoPopRealism Ink Images: Basics” and “How to Draw NeoPopRealism Abstract Images: Ink Backgrounds”. I examined these books, they are well done, I love them! The books’ designs and teaching method are fantastic. Approach to teaching is wonderful, step-by-step, easy to understand and to follow, all in line. It is new art style and new, unusual teaching method, and it helps person to learn and do the drawing very well. I am sure everyone will love these books, everyone will love to teach and to learn visual arts using these books. As an artist myself and art teacher with more than 40 years of experience, I approve and recommend them for teaching/ learning!

It is a fantastic book for developing children's creativity as well as the eye-hand-brain connection! The intro is easy for young children to read and comprehend. I liked the font used for the table of contents as well as the explanation of how and why Nadia Russ created the art style NeoPopRealim. I also liked the step by step guide for creating in the NeoPopRealism style. I would definitely buy this book as a resource book in my artroom. Most importantly, The NeoPopRealism style is for every kind of young art student. I think it can help foster confidence in the art experience for the insecure, fearful of making a mistake student as well as the special needs student! I am a part time professor at Marywood University in the art education dept. and I am going to put this book in my syllabus and will also present NeoPopRealism philosophy, how, why and when it was created and have my student teachers do a lesson on its technique. Truly an excellent, informative, creative and FUN way of creating art!
