Information is presented in an easy-to-reference, question and answer scenario, so artists can find the answers they need---fast. Full-color, step-by-step instruction clearly illustrates dozens of easy painting techniques.

"It is my dream that this book will sit on your painting or crafting table and end up dog-eared, spattered with paint and well used," says author Tera Leigh. "Although you can sit down and read it from cover to cover, it is intended to be a reference book to help you understand a term or technique as you need it—as a sort of portable teacher or painting helper."

Painters will find complete answers to questions like these:
·    I can't draw a straight line. How can I paint?
·    I can't get the paint to go on smoothly? How do I prepare this surface?
·    My brushstrokes look wobbly. Help!
·    Where can I find ideas and inspiration?
·    How do I make my project look special?

"This book is meant to show you how to accomplish the basic techniques you need as a decorative painter. I hope that you test them, try variations, discard what doesn't work for you and gain the confidence to know that whatever works for you is right."
