Inside my Art Books - Favorites and Inspiration

Published 2022-08-10
Let's take a look inside my 14 favorite art books!

Shoutout to the Internet Archive, they provide a free online library for individual and research purposes, where you can read most of the books I mention. You can then see if the book is really worth investing some money in or you can read through it and online. For each available book on there I will provide a link and write (IA) behind the title. (www.archive.org)
Create an account, borrow your preferred title and start reading! :)

Some of these links are affiliate links. At no cost to you will I receive a small comission if you purchase something. Thank you for your support of the channel!
