Painting
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
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.
