Excellent tutorial with loads of demonstrations and details of how to do something. Seems to cover all aspects of painting both for a 'veteran' or beginner. As a professional artist and also an art teacher - I highly recommend this book.
Good beginner’s to advanced painters’s advice on techniques to use in painting with acrylics, oil and watercolor. Lots of examples to view and experiment with one’s paintings.
A good basic approach and use it as a reference book.
Great book, informative and inspirational
Beautiful book!
I love it! Highly recommended!
