 Yes! Very happy with this book! August 16, 2008
I bought this book thinking, "Yeah, right, like I need to see another tips book that tells me not to eat paint." In other words I didn't think there would be one page worth reading. But I tell the world right now there is enough in this book to keep me busy exploring and experimenting for a year or more!
Also, I want to praise who ever made the decision about the binding on this book! This book lays open flat in the studio -- no more struggle! I think all art books of this type should be bound in a similar fashion!
If I am ever locked in my studio -- "by accident" -- I will be busy and content even if my jailers forget to slide food in under the door! Great book! A feast!
New ways with acrylics August 3, 2008
What a wonderful book. So many new ways to use acrylic paints with easy to follow step by step instructions for the new and accomplished artist. Not just a book about painting but about clever and often surprising things to do with acrylic paints. You will never be bored!!
Painting July 8, 2008
Great! Was a gift for my Father who just took up painting at the age of 74. He loves it!
Very useful and well organized book July 5, 2008
I bought it last week and it can totally be called a reference for you to deal with mixed-media acrylic painting techniques. The only lack of it is that the author does not deal with paintings made by more than one specific technique.
By the way, is it a necessity? :))

I am experimenting with all the techniques and having fun learning. It seems easy to follow.
