Great reference book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is an easy to follow reference book for decorative painting. I found the techniques useful for ceramics painting in addition to acrylics. I keep it as a reference for customers in my studio. It is useful for people learning basic brush stroke techniques.
