This book is fantastic - as I knew it would be. From start to finish, it is clear, concise, easy to understand and full of ideas. I also bought another 5 star book that I wish I hadn't. Handpainting Fabric tells you exactly what you need to know without long narratives - which I hate. The pictures are fabulous and techniques are easy and written extremely well. This book makes you want to get started immediately. My suggestion is if you are just starting out, this is the book for you - it tells all you need to know. And why not - its Michelle Newman.

I returned this book, because it wasn't what I wanted. I skimmed it over, and there are a lot of pretty pictures, but it is mostly about silk, only cursory information about other materials, lots about one authors specific projects. Most of the instructional info can be found free on the internet.

This is a gorgeous book and a must have for those who paint on fabric, especially silk. Filled with techniques & things to try!

Hermoso libro, imagenes nitidas y bellas.
Instrucciones faciles de entender.
Lo recomiendo a todas las personas interesadas en la pintura en tela.
