I bought this book about a year ago and it has been the book that I have turned to most frequently when in the mood to do something creative.
I've found the ideas to be inventive and inspiring & have used them as a catalyst to producing my own cards which have been very much appreciated by friends and family - although aimed mainly at beginners I think that their are ideas here that anyone interested in mixed media painting and general card making can enjoy - thoroughly recommended!

Simply Inspiring!
8 Dec 2002
Format:Paperback
This book has been a truly wonderful find! I enjoy the creative process, but watercolor has never been my strong suit. I purchased this book just a few days ago, and have already created several pieces of art that amaze even me! My intention in buying this book was less to make cards (though that's something I've long done) but more to use Elizabeth Joan Black's techniques in hopes of finding a new creative outlet. I definitely got that and more. Her book gives wonderful details, with colorful pictures that would help anyone achieve results they would be pleased with. I highly recommend this book for the novice to the experienced. It really is inspiring!

This book really gets me going. I'm a beginner in painting 'cause I use different art media. But this book made it really easy for me to start in painting. I like EJ Black's ideas and techniques. Really good for beginners and act like a pro. I highly recommend this book for children and beginning adults!

author makes it fun

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
One of the best things about this book, is that Ms. Black has a contagious sense of fun. She focuses on spontaneity rather than rigid outcome. She leads a reader through a series of techniques (sorry for the over-used word) that help discourage intellectual interference. Great book for doing, in addition to reading about, the craft. I go back to this book time and time again.
