Summary: glossary of information
Comment: I took a demo from Nancy, and then a one day workshop..she is very good at imparting information, and showing samples. The book is an encyclopedia of great and useful information about the products she uses in her work. It is well laid out, easy to use with the spiral binding, and has examples of each technique that ought to be easy to grasp by even a novice.

Summary: GREAT Book!
Comment: I'm a student and need specific, detailed instruction on acrylic painting techniques, and this book provides them. A friend -- an established artist -- recommended this book to me, and she wasn't wrong.

Summary: Yes! Very happy with this book!
Comment: I bought this book thinking, "Yeah, right, like I need to see another tips book that tells me not to eat paint." In other words I didn't think there would be one page worth reading. But I tell the world right now there is enough in this book to keep me busy exploring and experimenting for a year or more!
Also, I want to praise who ever made the decision about the binding on this book! This book lays open flat in the studio -- no more struggle! I think all art books of this type should be bound in a similar fashion!

If I am ever locked in my studio -- "by accident" -- I will be busy and content even if my jailers forget to slide food in under the door! Great book! A feast!
