Summary: Great Beginners Painting Book
Review: Priscilla Hauser although a very talented painter with many years of experience, is still able to put herself in the position of the beginner. Each technique or preparation is fully explained in easy to understand terms. The basis for folk art painting or tole painting is mastering different paint strokes to enable the painter to achieve the desired results quickly and effeciently, and these strokes are demonstrated and explained fully. The author also includes photos of what an inaccurate stroke would look like.
The best part is the patterns and step by step instructions that will excite the beginner and entice them into trying the world of painting!!
This book is an excellent reference and teaching guide that even the most timid of beginners could feel confident they would achieve a measure of success immediately!!! Of course as with all things, the individuals style of painting will change and develop as they practice their skills, but when they look back they will always prize this book that guided them so well!!
