Format:Spiral-bound
Having just received this workbook, I have to say I would really only like to try about 2 of the projects in it... Most of them are so boring as to be a waste of time for most people. There isn't quite enough explanation of techniques - frequently she gets to something interesting only to stop before fully explaining it. Not such a good buy...

great beginner's book
3 Jun 2000
Format:Hardcover
This is the best book on beginning acrylic painting that I have run across so far. I've found the exercises challenging but not too difficult. The 10 lessons seem to give the beginner a good grounding in basic concepts of color selection, composition, building the painting, and special techniques. I would highly recommend this book to someone who is interested to beginning to paint but does not have time to take lessons.

Pretty decent book for beginners
3 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was one of the first books I bought when I just started acrylic painting.
This book introduces the reader to different brushes, textures, effects,etc.
I actually did many of the exercises from this book and they came out pretty good. I enjoyed doing the exercises because a lot of the exercises were easy and precision wasn't really required, which let me just work on the basics of things (shadows,etc.)
I definately wouldn't call this a complete course, but it might be a complete course of the basics of acrylic painting (to get you started). I would recommend this book if you're just starting acrylic painting and want a book that's fairly easy to do the exercises for.

NOT A COMPLETE COURSE!
12 Mar 2004
Format:Paperback
Please don't name your book a complete course in 10 lessons if it is not. Only for beginners and remember not a complete course. Only if you don't know anything about painting, it gives very basic knowlege and it should say that is what it does.
