Excellent for complete beginners!

As a complete beginner, I have found this book very easy to understand and follow. Unlike other art guides I tried, this one explains the very basics (and more) in very simple terms and in easy steps. This is the one book that tells you the little things that many other guides seem to assume you somehow already know… It has built my confidence in trying various media and having fun with art. Highly recommended!
