"Unimpressed" according to Tanya. This doesn't show much painting technique such as wet or dry brush, etc. You can pretty much get the same result from copying a photograph. Overall, I didn't learn anything new from this book. In fact, you can follow along with colored pencils. Also, the non-standard publishing size means that it doesn't fit on a bookshelf easily.I didn't get through the entire book yet, so I'll modify my review based on what else I find.. Bernie fwh said Four Stars. Good cloud info.. Dina Sequeira said Five Stars. Looking forward to trying out the techniques listed in the book.
