4.7

Customers find the book great, interesting, and an excellent source. They say it reviews the techniques and materials needed to work in oils. Readers appreciate the philosophy, method, and techniques of sound painting. However, some find the illustrations not in color and the images shoddy. Opinions are mixed on the language, with some finding it well-written and impressed with the author, while others say it's odd and stodgy.
