  • Great instructions for a teaching book.

    Beautiful book in great shape. The book went the different steps to achieve that blended look that you would get with a acrylic or oil painting or even water color. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to paint different items with only colored pencils. It was well worth the money I paid for the book.
