Title: Book: Vladimir Douchkine of Mr. Baden
Post by: snagy on March 12, 2017, 05:02:24 AM

So finally - the book is here!
Last week I could pay a visit at Hugendubel's in Frankfurt and bought the long sought-after book.
And now sitting in wintergarten and paging the beautiful book of our fellow-member, Aba:   I feel myself enthusiastic and embarrassed in the same time!
Feel enthusiasm seeing what can be achieved from a flat figure as an artistic creation - and feel embarrassment about the fact that I probably never be able to come near to this level.
So it is a dangerous book!!  >:(
However I try to keep on painting  ;)  and do not take the other - obvious - way: giving up the hobby!  :(
Anyway: thank you Mr. Baden for this beautiful collection and creation.

I have it as well and it's a wonderful book. I find it inspiring to see what can be accomplished with these little figures
