Format:Spiral-bound
A beautiful book. Well written with easy to follow instructions for creating different textures, layering, composition etc. The whole book is colourful with plenty of step by step guidance for creating your own paintings. As a novice painter I have found this book hard to put down. Work your way through the book as the author advises, experimenting with each technique and easy to follow instructions. I can't praise this book enough - it's what I've been searching for.

I recomend this book for everyone who likes to explore and play with different art materials. It will surely take your creativity to a higer level. It will give you new ideas for your art expression. The photoes are beautiful and colourful, and makes you want to thouch the paintings and see if you can feel the structure.
This book gave me more than I have got from all of my other books together. It is also very handy to use when you work

This is an excellent book for any person artistic or other that feels they have got stuck in an artistic rut. It gives lots of excellent new ideas for trying out different media, in ways perhaps you haven't thought of before. The excellent way the book is presented is sure to inspire any reader. It becomes inspiration for many ideas (without dictating what is right and what is wrong) and leaves you itching to get started.
