[Basil · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book did have some helpful basic tips and has a nice gloss and rich color to its many photos. However, the majority of the premise is that the reader is going to gather the materials and supplies she lists and practice by copying the paintings that she lays out step by step in the book. That is stupid, no one is going to do that. (And even if they wanted to, the reference pictures used for the paintings are teeny tiny, making them impossible for anyone to even try to work from.)

This would have been better with just some simple exercises.
