[The Suburban Eclectic · Rating 3 out of 5]

The title is somewhat misleading, suggesting this book is meant for beginners, but it is not as detailed as you might expect for step by step instruction. There is quite a bit of a gap between each step. Nonetheless, awesome tips for color choice and blending techniques. Still a beautiful art book. 2.5

Good instruction. The projects were a little frustrating, but practice makes perfect, isn't it?
