I did not enjoy this as much as the first Fantasy Art Masters, though that's entirely due to the artists covered in each book. Just didn't resonate with the artwork in this, aside from Parkinson and Sudworth.
I'm always interested in seeing collections of various artists in one volume, and this one was no exception. Although I was familiar with the work of Keith Parkinson, the other artists were relatively unknown to me. There were quite a few hit and misses, as there were a wide range of media/styles represented throughout. I found that the words of the artists were far more interesting than many of their pieces!
These are mostly beautiful paintings. I rate it on my enjoyment and the 3 reflects that there are a few I didn't really care for...but not too many. Like fantasy art? Just like nice paintings... This is a good book and can give hours of dreaming. Enjoy.
