What a great book. I found it very helpful in explaining how to do many decorative painting techniques, from the most basic tips on buying beginner supplies, to explaining brushstrokes that make a project look professional. I had looked at other books before this one, but this one helped me the most to get started and learn the basics. It is also full of many helpful pictures and illustrations.
