From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "I bought this book as a Christmas gift for a new to painting family member. I already have 3 tip/technique books I use myself and I've been painting for over 40 years. I liked this book so much I bought a copy for myself as well. Why? It has references to current tools, techniques and tips on how to achieve different painting styles using acrylic paints. Highly recommend this book."; "Good basic book. I've been painting in acrylics for years, but this book was a good reminder to push my style boundaries."; "Very informative. I am a self-taught artist, who really learned a lot from this book. It teaches basic principles and tips for acrylic painting."
