Comments: Much More than an "How to Book"
Michelle Temares' "How to Design your Own Painting Projects" is truly a wonderful book from the beginning to the end. When I ordered the book, I really didn't know what to expect, since it's the first of its kind on the market. Beginning and advance artists/designers will come away with new ideas and inspiration for their own artwork.

Michelle Temares helps the artist/designer to see "What is Good Design", "Composition", and provides inspiration for "Developing a Color Scheme". Before I purchased this book, I would of never thought about using Graph Vellum (Chapter 1, Design Supplies) for designing and now that's all I use to create my own artwork.

I give this book a "5" star rating and everyone that purchases this book will learn something new. Michelle Temares has proven that anyone can be an artist/designer through this remarkable written book.
