    Item was even better than described! The book is in near mint condition! Very, very happy with my purchase as this was a book that I’ve been wanting BUT the average price was $30-35 more than what I paid for from this seller and probably would not be in such pristine condition! Would definitely recommend this seller!!!! Shipping was super fast and item was packaged with care. Thank you! A+++ seller!!!!

  • Portrait painting

    Definitely not for beginners. Jumps from topic to topic with no step by step processes. Knows his stuff but he should stick to painting
