Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: never recieved item Comment: I have not recieved this book. I have not heard from the seller, although I've emailed several times. I'll never use Amazon again. Customer Rating: Summary: Good but not step to step Comment: Good book to have, but it's not a good step by step book. It's more reference than tutorial. Customer Rating: Summary: Warning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DVD doesn't work on a Mac!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Comment: It looks like a pretty good resource BUT the DVD doesn't work on my MAC with Leopard OS. I'm getting the same error messages everyone else is. That subtracts more than 50 per cent of it's usefulness, in my humble opinion. I'm going to send it back. Customer Rating: Summary: A must have for the aspiring painter Comment: This is a truly helpful book if you wish to create a very professional looking painting from a photo but have never painted before. Easy to follow instructions can turn you into a painter in a very short time.Within a week I was astonishing my clients with my new found skills.By combining photos and than painting them I can create a very original painting that has become my trademark in within a month.
