      Lots of ideas here. Well put together for the mixed-media artist.
    • 4/5
      Pam is an excellent teacher- inspiring you to jump in and take chances with mixed-media art. She gives great advice for which materials to use and has a variety of techniques that are fun to try in art journals (or paintings). If you have a chance- be sure to take a workshop in person! This book is a bit like a workshop in a book.
