This is so fascinating!! Would love a part 2 with reference/inspo books on topics other than anatomy that are more of a compilation than "tutorial" type books.. hope that made sense haha

Art and Fear...a classic that I seem to turn to time and time again..great book selections and definitely yes for a part 2!

What an incredibly helpful video! Thank you so much for putting this together. And YES to part 2!

It really resonated with me when you said it takes courage to put your art out there. I always feel very vulnerable when I show something I've made. Thank you for sharing your wisdom 💖

I stumbled across this video the other day and just had to come back to thank you for such wonderful recommendations. I ordered Art and Fear and Big Magic right after watching and have already read both in the span of 24 hours and can already feel how it is going to change my relationship with my work. I would love a part two should you ever have the opportunity/desire to share! 💖

Perfect timing, I was just looking to treat myself to some art books and supplies! I'm so glad you included books about mindset & career as well! Definitely going to get a few of them ❤️ would love a part 2 as well

Wonderful review! Yes, to part two. I struggle to keep my focus on anything and you had me completely in! We’ll done!

This is probably one of the best discussions and informative insights into useful book recommendations and why!! An intelligent approach in a mire of uninformed KZread channels. Thank you for your refreshing content.

Minnie, You are so thoughtful, sensitive and intelligent. You did a great job sharing these important books. Please keep going.

Would definitely love a part 2! You gave such great descriptions of each book and I’ll be placing a few on my Christmas list this year. Thank you 😊

Yes, part 2 PLEASE!!! Love your recommendations!!

I would definitely be interested in a part 2 because this was very helpful & informative.

thank you for the mindset book recommendations! Those were just what i was looking for!

This is wonderful, I get so lost in the art books section... thank you so much! Part 2 and 3 would be amazing 😁

Thank you for all these recommendations, I cant wait to read some of them

I loved this video so much, Minnie. Art and Fear and Big Magic have been pivotal for me, too. Steven Pressfield's The War Of Art, Magnus Resch's How To Be A Successful Artist, and Twyla Tharp's The Creative Habit have been essential for me as well. I'm so happy to have discovered your channel. :)

The "Art and Fear" book is indeed life changing. I rarely grab that type of books, but this one was eye opening and got me out of a block I was in.

love this!! i say with a number of still unread art books on my shelf lol. i tried big magic on your recommendation but it wasnt for me, however, i found a book that i think did the same thing for me: the creative path by carolyn schlam. she goes through inspiration, gives unique exercises, talks about techniques, about sharing, about making space for yourself as an artist... the main focus is on the process of painting, which i found so healing in this time of artists (including myself) constantly worrying about getting seen on social media. it also helped me take myself seriously as an artist but in a really chill way, because it made me think and realise that i have things to say and they are worth saying, even if only to myself. so for anyone else out there who didnt vibe with big magic, i highly recommend the creative path :)

Haha I'm the same with unread books 😅😅 There's always room for more! For what it's worth, I tried reading Big Magic twice before it clicked for me the third time (I much preferred it in audiobook form) so it might be worth going back to one day 🤷‍♀️ Thank you for the Carolyn Schlam recommendation, I'll defo be checking that out, sounds perfect!

I love this video so much!!!!!!!!! I'm an aspiring artist and I am so passionate about making art

Werner’s nomenclature of colour is the perfect combo of art and science which I’m alway so happy to see. As a science by training and a artist by eternal facinasion I always find people trying to keep the world separated is strange. So much in science is beautiful and often beautiful thing can have huge scientific meaning. In satellite imagery if you process diffrent wave of light correctly they desplay ice crystals in the atmosphere, the system I use made them a beautiful purple swirls across big areas.

Set aside one hour a day to make art, any type. After a month it will be habit and you will drastically increase your output. Family and friends may buy a few pieces off you and your career has begun. I love this channel. So many great ideas. My favorite art books: - Art and Fear by David Bayles - Aviation Art by Lou Drendel - Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson

yes to a part 2! :)

This is so useful, Minnie! :) Thank you very much for sharing your list. I have heard about some of the titles you mentioned but others were completely new to me and I sm definitely curious! I think it would be awesome if you make another video about your favorite books :) Also, please give us an update about your shop. What are you planning about it? I am also really interested in the progress of your book that you mentioned in a previous video. Please update us! :) Keep up the great work!

Oh Minnie, thank you for sharing the book list that seem to be brilliant, hopefully for me, I am not an artist. I adore your excellent performance and useful info. You are a good artist too. Been following you for a while, I am always so happy to watch you perform, your beautiful performance, excellent English. I hope some of the books are for beginners to, staring with fear at the blank canvas :) Amazon is a bit expensive for delivery to Iceland, but perhaps I am lucky and can buy 1 or two wonderful books that you recommend and describe perfectly. You are always brilliant, Minnie :)

Hey Minnie - Just putting another vote in for a part two video! 😄

Amazing video!!

Really interesting video thanks!

I would like to add 'Art & Soul, reloaded' to this list by writer Pam Grout. Wonderful inspiring presentation. I am a librarian and enjoyed it and ordered some for the public library in Aruba. Thank you!

I can wait to read the first book, Art and Fear. I have jumped around 6 ideas deciding they're all rubbish. Only now going for gold as I now have just over a week to create and produce four works. Everything you mentioned, yeah I'm experiencing.

Brilliant 🙌 thank you 🙏 😃❤️

Question for a potential part 2: you mentionned books *about* inspiration, are there some books that make you inspired? My go-to is Tillie Walden's "Mini meditations on creativity". It's an illustrated, curated collection of quotes about creating. Of course, the illustrations are gorgeous, this is Tillie Walden, but it's the curation that I really love about it. She talks about how she wanted to stray from the image of the "lightbulb that lights up above someone's head", and instead wanted to collect quotes about the work and sometimes struggle to put yourself into a creative mindset. It's always on my desk
