Title: Nice Pictures: No Substance
Product review: For a book that claims to be "packed with practical information, helpful tips, & fundamental techniques", I found it disappointing. Here is a sample of a tip from Lola Ades: "The more you paint, the more you learn". More gems: "There are many colors of roses from deepest Reds to palest pastels." "Tonal values are very important so study them carefully." "This was a very beautiful rose and I painted the colors as closely as possible." Because this "gigantic booklet" was cheap,I won't return it and I may use a few of the rose paintings (a couple are ugly) for a future craft project. Make no mistake. This book will not teach you to draw or paint roses unless you already know how. Nuff said.
