 Not something I cared for... May 8, 2008
This may appeal to some folks - to me, it didn't. Will be returning the item, as it is not all that appealing, and does not contain much I would be interested in (I enjoy realism , and this seemed full of gimmicky ideas. sorry.) (Like the way it was bound. though)
 truley a revolution for me! April 21, 2008
Although i do agree, it is not suited best for beginners, I found so much useful information from this book!
The techniques and different effects can be used with ANY ART STYLE. (contemporary, post-modern, classic etc.) Depending on your level of skill.
Great book! April 12, 2008
Whether you've just begun to paint with acrylics or are a seasoned veteran painter, there is a wealth of new techniques in this book to add to your painting repertoire. Great ideas, well organized with lots of photos, this is one of the best books around for acrylic painters, calligraphers, book artists and just about anyone else who wants to use acrylic paints in their art.

Acrylic Revolution: New Tricks & Techniques for Working With the World's Most Versatile Medium. This book is full of practical tips for different ways to use acrylics. It is easy to read and very informative. A must read for experienced artists and those just starting to explore acrylic paints. I especially enjoyed all of the examples she gives for different techniques and ways to create textures and effects with the paint and various mediums.
Revolutionary March 24, 2008
I am looking forward to completing current projects so that I have time to just PLAY. I want to give everything in this book a try on a small scale so that I am familiar with the techniques and can draw on them when needed for just that right touch in new projects.
