I'm a beginner at acrylic painting, but I love this book. It's got enough direction to let me feel like I know what I'm doing, yet is "loose" enough to give me room to experiment. Sometimes I have to remix colors several times or paint a part of the painting two or three times to get the effect that I want, but that's all part of learning. This is well worth buying if you can find another copy. I don't know that it's still in print, but if not, I hope the publisher will bring it back. It's a terrific book!
