(More customer reviews)I'm pretty sure I own every book out there in regards to Encaustic techniques. With each new release of an "encaustic how to book", the level and variety of instruction supersedes the other. I think Patricia has succeeded in raising the bar on instructional art books. Particularly in the encaustic (painting with wax) area.
It is a comprehensive book and includes a variety of techniques. I don't think she left anything out and included inspiration to explore further. I also find the step by step instructions to be complete. Too many art instruction books have lots of pretty pictures and not enough of the "how to" content. This is not the case here; you get both. Lots of pictures, lots of instruction, lots of content.
This is the perfect book for anyone wanting to learn how to work in encaustic and for those who have some experience but want more.
I highly recommend this book.
