Good book

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEAUTIFUL BOOK
*by C***Y on November 6, 2009*

This book has the most beautiful paintings in it that I have ever seen. I am a beginner painter (painting for 4 months) and there are enough instructions for me to follow to complete a painting. I just completed one of the paintings in this book and it came out beautiful. This book gives me inspiration to also create my own paintings. I have really appreciated the information in the intoduction. There were some things, as a begining painter, that I did not know. I use all of the Bob Ross brushes and palate knives and in his instructions he tells you which one he used to create the effect he is painting. I plan on purchasing more of the Bob Ross books in the future. Right now, I have enough inspiration to create many many more lovely paintings. We have a local County Fair and Peach Days Celebrations here in So. Utah. I plan on entering my paintings is our local competition.
