Summary: THE BEST!!
Comment: If anyone out there is even thinking about painting (or if you are already a painter) this is the book. It will show you examples of almost every kind of paint and then what will happen if you mixed it with something or layer something. This is a GREAT "example" book. Watch out thou you will want to go and try them all out......

Summary: Arteffects
Comment: Very well written, thought out and organized book demonstrating the different techniques that can be used with a variety of paint mediums and materials. I would recommend this for an introduction to use of materials, tools and grounds.

Comment: This is a wonderful book, if you are an artist, you can find different samples for many techniques, if you are an amateur, you can find a lot of fun.
This is my precious!

Summary: Arteffects a welcomed addition to any artist library.
Comment: This book is exactly as described. A "visual sampler" of step-by step, demonstrations, to achieve hundreds of different effects in your paintings. Wonderful, colorful illustrations, easy to understand instructions and desriptions as well. Also the layout of the book is very user friendly. There is 208 pages so you get your money's worth in this book. This book is full of ideas to get your creative hands moving. I am very happy to own this book.

Summary: like a kid in a candy store
Comment: I must disagree with the reviewer who said this book is not for the true artist. I am an artist and although I know some of the techniques or variations thereof, there are plenty more that I can't wait to try. I feel like a kid in a candy store, not knowing what to do first.
Sure, this is not a book that teaches you how to draw or paint, or how to make good compositions. Its focus is on techniques to achieve certain effects. That's all it says it is and it does that admirably.
