Starts Well, Worth the Price

I like this book & am glad I purchased it. It starts well & gives a lot of good advice about "acrylics." But as the book went on, it seemed less "instructive" with too many tedious details about products. --- But this book has motivated me to work on "painting." I'm attempting to improve my drawing ability at this stage & have not yet launched into "attempted" painting. But the book is worth the price. Would suggest author talk more about using various "tools" of painting & about the "history" of artists who have been successful at using acrylics to make & sell paintings. thanks.
