5.0 out of 5 stars
Sybil Edwards' book was easy to follow and understand.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Acrylic Decorative Painting Techniques (Hardcover)
The author did an excellent job at breaking down a somewhat intimidating craft medium (decorative painting) into simple steps & brush strokes. The reader gains a better understanding of the techniques and more confidence in applying them. (Hint: practice does indeed make perfect!) This book is the perfect starting point for beginning as well as experienced decorative painters. Don't let the title ("Acrylic Decorative Painting...) fool you, the techniques shown in this book would apply to oil painting as well. Sybil Edwards' book shows how to paint decorative backgrounds, floral motifs and other characters or "bold" painting. The decorative painting book by Priscilla Hauser focuses solely on floral techniques (which she does very well). "Acrylic Decorative Painting Techniques" is a must-have book for any crafter's home library!

Great Book for Beginners- Great Reference for Experienced,
This review is from: Acrylic Decorative Painting Techniques (Hardcover)
Very good reference book for brush strokes and techniques. The directions are very detailed and include full color examples. Great section on brushes, paints, and tools so you will know what you need to get started. What I enjoyed most is that she not only showed you the strokes but also variations and ideas for how to use them in your painting. Also, the elements all build on each other as you go through the book so you are building your techniques step by step. Finally, this book does contain a pattern section along with example patterns throughout the entire book.
