This review is from: Color for the Decorative Painter (Paperback)
I love this book! It taught me how to paint on various types of items and with various mediums. I am no painter ....but I'm learning and this book is full of advise and takes you through each project step by step. Now thanks to this book, I am making items that look as though it was bought at a store! thanks!
