Customer Reviews

Jerry does it again!
Jerry Yarnell is an American TV host rather in the style of Bob Ross although not to my knowledge yet on British TV. He presents another excellent selection of acrylic paintings with step by step instructions. For the uninitiated the paintings are a little tricky to achieve the same level of results as Jerry, and maybe the first book would be more useful. Also the whole book consists of how to the specfic paintings and thus if you don't attempt them it's not much of a read. However full marks to Jerry for his imagination and even if my results don't match his, it still makes you have a go and introduces you to the fascinating world of acrylic painting.
