5 minutes in and already I am painting with more PIZZAZZ!
| Customer Rating: | This book is truly infectious - in fact I accidentally purchased 2 and have already got a buyer for the other - all the way downunder in New Zealand!
I say "infectious" because of the effect it is having on me - I want to try new things - buy new products - although here in NZ I have not yet sourced a supplier of Golden! Will find a way though.
Nancy - this is a winner - and thank you Amazon because you bring the most amazing packages to my doorstep - all for the sake of art of course!
I loved this book from the first 5 mins of reading it and truly I completed a painting - I think I've completed it - I may just have to "tweak" it a little more and add more layers - I marbled, I used the gel medium and even my husband had to agree - my butterflies almost flew off the canvas! Simply wonderful.... |
worth the money!!

glossary of information
| Customer Rating:  | | I took a demo from Nancy, and then a one day workshop..she is very good at imparting information, and showing samples. The book is an encyclopedia of great and useful information about the products she uses in her work. It is well laid out, easy to use with the spiral binding, and has examples of each technique that ought to be easy to grasp by even a novice. |
