4.0 out of 5 stars good pictures and ideas, April 4, 2006
By Suzan Elichaa (falmouth maine) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is fine for beginner/mid level painter that is looking for some information and lots of color pictures. It covers the clasic faux finishes (wood, marble, netal, trompe l'oeil but on a very basic level. It does not contain much information on the funky painted furniture that is so popular today. The photos of projects and the rendered techniques are excellent. The author is clearly a talented painter. But if you want detailed information on how to create these finishes I would highly recommend The Art of Painted Finish by Isabel O'Neil. Her book covers the techniques, paints, glazes, and supplies in detail.
