Kindle Customer: This book started slowly with easier techniques then increased with harder concepts. The only problem was how the colors in the book didn’t really match the examples. But I will continue to use this as I learn.

Mildred DeMeo: It gave the properties of acrylic painting as compared to water coloring. The pros and cons of both paint. My grandson was anxious to get started with acrylics.

JANET CAMPBELL: Excellent for someone just starting with acrylics. The author starts with the basic aspects of art but also explains more complicated subjects such as portraits later in the book. Very comprehensive but also easy to follow. I have enjoyed following her projects so far. You will learn step by step to paint still life,landscapes, animals and people. I'm looking forward to learning more!

Laura M: Refreshing my memories of techniques from art classes 40+ years ago. Might be too advanced for someone with no background in art.

Kindle Customer: Lee Hammond is a great teacher of drawing and painting. I have watched her tutorials on the artist network, and learned a lot. She speaks clearly, is well organized, and knows how to explain what needs to be done to achieve results. This book is well laid out, has lessons to teach you techniques. She has books on drawing and painting and using colored pencils.

LC: This is very similar to Lee Hammond's books on realistic drawing with pencils and colored pencils. It takes a very structured and linear approach to teaching how to use acrylics. That's just what I need. I have worked through about half of the examples and have found this to be a good book for learning acrylics.

Klp: As a beginner with painting, I purchased “how to” books before this one and was frustrated at the lack of basic information I needed to start out right. I purchased this one based on good reviews and previewing the contents through Amazon.
This book is excellent!! So much helpful information for a beginner! I’ve learned a lot and have been following along from the beginning and am very happy with how much I’ve learned already from this book.
Highly recommend!!!

Wyo JOT: Having just started some paint and wine classes I searched around for a general guide for painting with acrylics to answer all my questions and provide instructions on how to do different tasks. Lee's concept of the awkward stage in the creation of a painting was like shining a spotlight into a dark and dismal corner. My first two efforts had left me wondering what I was doing there beside drinking wine. Both pictures turn out to be textbook examples of the "awkward stage" and offered directions to turn disaster into a nice start. I now know that I can have fun learning to paint and will some day be able to have a decent painting of my own hanging on the wall. I think that that anyone using this book with a bit of hard work can produce work that they will be proud to show people. I have ordered a printed copy to go with my kindle copy since I think that acrylic paint could damage the screen. This is a great book to get started with.
