## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspirational Artwork Techniques
*by N***E on 3 January 2013*

I have found this book a fantastic way of pushing my artwork in new directions. There are many ideas for approaches to paint which you would never have thought of before including techniques using common household items. It also covers some of the gels/mediums seen in art shops which I would not have thought about using before as I did not know how to use them to best effect. If you are an art student or teacher it should be a staple reference book. The instructions are easy to follow, photographs are clear and examples shown inspirational.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Book
*by B***  on 9 December 2013*

I first got this as a kindle addition so I knew about the contents, but I found that it was limiting so I ordered this and I'm so glad I did. It's so much easier to understand as you see the projects a lot clearer across the pages.The techniques are explained in an a easy way with plenty of pictures. It give a list of materials, surfaces, archival quality and tips so you can get organized before you start. It also has a troubleshooting comments. There are pictures of artists that work in mix media as examples. The book has a index at the back and a list of suppliers contact details

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ so many ideas
*by M***T on 14 May 2012*

i couldn't wait to receive this book and start getting creative. there are so many different ways to create work with varying surface textures. for each tutorial it also gives small samples of how to vary the technique. the only downside with this book is that its american so im not sure if all the materials used in the book are available in the UK and if they're expensive to buy.
