 Painting July 8, 2008
Great! Was a gift for my Father who just took up painting at the age of 74. He loves it!
Very useful and well organized book July 5, 2008
I bought it last week and it can totally be called a reference for you to deal with mixed-media acrylic painting techniques. The only lack of it is that the author does not deal with paintings made by more than one specific technique.
By the way, is it a necessity? :))

I am experimenting with all the techniques and having fun learning. It seems easy to follow.
Paint spattered May 27, 2008
Yes, that's right, this book is so much a part of what I do that it has paint spatters on the pages. And I think that's a real recommendation. This is not a book sitting pretty on my shelf, it's a living companion working with me in my daily art practice. How cool is that? Buy this book...
Great Inspiration! May 18, 2008
There were some techniques in here that I am truly enjoying in my mixed media work. It is a great book, and the instructions are well written and the pictures are just glorious. A MUST HAVE for every mixed media artist!
