Customer Reviews

I love this book

I found this book to be very informative. As an absolute beginner it sure has helped me to accomplish much. I truly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn how to paint decoratively. This book will let you know you can make beautiful art work even if you've never done anything like it before.

everything you need in one colorful book

Being an extreme beginner, I was looking for a complete manual to help me start on my new painting "career". After reading and using the material in this book, I consider myself capable of not only producing quality pieces of artwork, but being able to both sell them and be proud to give them as gifts. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who, wants to learn how to paint; needs to find hard to find supplies; needs a color conversion chart or wants a brush-up course on strokework.
