Review Quotes: "From the technical and editorial standpoint, book is done very well. Illustrations are clear and informative, well-chosen for the topic at hand. . . . The book really looks to be inspired by the authentic fascination with the topic and is definitely built on years of experience with it, and research into it. For anyone interested in very unusual contemporary artistic techniques, and especially in unusual painting tactics (that really seems like a better word here), it's definitely worth reading."--Jacek Olender "The Picture Restorer" (7/31/2025 12:00:00 AM)
