I love this book. It is very good for the beginner-----and I mean for someone who has never picked up a brush. I have really enjoyed it.
Good info

I purchased three books about acrylic painting and find this book to have the best instruction and information of the three. I would reccommend this book.
A "Must-Have"

If you can only purchase one book on acrylic painting, this is the one to have. The author covers every aspect of painting from landscape (trees, leaves, bushes, rocks, etc.) to portrait painting. She covers the types of brushes and how they are used. This book has everything I was looking for and more. There are some nice illustrations to follow. I'm so glad I purchased it!
