Reviews
Art Book Review - Jan 2024 The concept behind this somewhat portmanteau title is intriguing. On the face of it, it could indicate a desire to produce another book with Adebanji, who is deservedly popular, but it goes further than that and addresses the matter of capturing character in both people and their surroundings. Dubbed "the addictive sketcher", Adebanji has previously been known for quick drawings and an incredibly busy sketchbook. This is his chance to show you what you can do when you work these up in the studio. There's still evidence of the quick impression, but there's also time to consider composition, colour and balance. It's also worth pointing out the subtitle - Capturing everyday life in oils . As this is not primarily a book about techniques of application, I don't think that need worry you if you want to work in other media - structuring an image applies universally. There are all kinds of subject here from portraits and townscapes to more relaxed figures and even landscapes. It's impossible not to fall in love with Adebanji and his work, and this will do much to enhance his known repertoire as well as his reputation.

    Excellent seller. Package was delayed ( by bad weather) and then misplaced at PO( placed in wrong box #) but I contacted the seller and they responded quickly and I got my item today. This seller went the extra mile and I would highly recommend them and will shop here again. I also want to say the price for this complete hard to find item was way below most of the other listings. Condition was good as stated, and although I've only watched the first disc it's quality is good. Thank you!!

    The cd was well packed and arrived safely. Unfortunately, the disc I received wasn't the original cd. It had been replaced by a CD-R. I immediately alerted World of Books USA regarding the problem and an officer of the company responded within 24 hours. They have provided a full refund of the purchase. Great customer service and communication. The case was resolved to my satisfaction. Will continue to do business with World of Books USA. Thanks.

    I received my items in great condition. The books were packed really well and survived the shipping process well. The books appeared described by the seller. Excellent service by the seller, who responded quickly to an inquiry that was more of an issue with the current state of USPS. Excellent transaction with the seller overall!
