  • Valuable Lessons

    I am excited to be able to tell you that this book is fantastic! I am an artist (award winning artist...toot, toot) but always open to learning new tips and techniques. The author of this book has a great personality that comes through as she guides you through the many, many short lesson that I have found sooooo helpful in increasing my artist's skill level. From the (older) beginner to the established artist, this book comes highly recommended from me!
