My Take on the Book
This was an beautiful book filled with amazing artwork and instructions on how to create similar artwork yourself. My daughters love art and this book was another great one that allowed them to learn while also having fun! The books starts simple enough giving some context to the art form and them building from there giving the reader step-by-step instructions on what to do and how to do it. The book is a great one for any artist!
