Comments: I looked at A LOT of Painting books...this is the best I searched for quite some time for an easy-to-understand, easy-to-follow instructional book on Decorative Painting. This is far and away the best book. It educates you on colors (warm vs. cool), teaches you about color schemes (which colors work well with eachother), and then step by step tells you how to execute the techniques (Dragging, Rolling, Frottage, and many more). I used the Double Roll technique and am very pleased with the results. Upshot? Great Book for an Awesome Price.
