Title: Very narrow, doesn't do the art form justice.
Product review: I own or have read most of the books on encaustic painting. This one is the least helpful, and shows only one technique. Unfortunately, I own this one, which I bought as a beginner. Even as a beginner, I knew it was very simplistic and incomplete, as there are many more techniques that yield much more interesting and artistic results. The paintings in the book lack any of the 3D qualities that encaustics are known for. All the paintings have marks made by the authors iron, using the only technique in the book. You are better off buying any other book on encaustics than this one.
