In general, a good book. Well illustrated and written.

However, if you are a beginner, this book may be a challenge to use. The author shows the steps and explains them, but if you haven't worked with an instructor before, you may struggle with the techniques.

I would recommend at least one year of experience - preferably with an instructor - before working with this book.

This is a great intro to Chinese ink painting. It's comprehensive but clear. It was exactly as I'd hoped.
