Gretchen Cagle's Decorative Painting Keepsakes

Rating:
Summary: Create something wonderful--even if you are a beginner
Review: I am relatively new to the craft of painting, but even I found Gretchen Cagle's Decorative Painting Keepsakes to be full of great "do-able" ideas. The photographs of the finished projects are beautifully done, and give valuable examples of how your work might look. The step-by-step instructions are easy to follow, and there are many tips on basic techniques and more advanced concepts. Most importantly, the designs in this book are in a variety of layouts, shapes, and color schemes, so you can adapt them to other types of projects, such as other types of woodwork or even canvas.
