This is a tremendous resource for paint techniques. It will present a type of paint technique and then gives step-by-step instruction to accomplish the technique. The pictures really illustrate the steps. I felt a lot of the types of painting were beyond what I would do as a hobby. For someone who regularly used paint in their hobbies, this would be the ultimate book.
