Title: Disappointed
Product review: The editorial review recommends this book for all levels of experience. I disagree. The main content of the book seems to be an "artsy", self-indulgent calligraphy with which the author apparently intends to inspire creativity. This effort is, in my opinion, completely without merit when compared to the many wonderful books on this subject already available. The practical demonstrations of particular techniques by the artists are presented in a muddled, incomplete and incoherent manner. In one instance two different approaches are presented on the same pages and it is difficult to connect the descriptions to the process pictured. I very rarely return a book, but I did return this one as being worthless. It is not helpful to the beginner and it does not provide any useful information to the experienced painter.
