CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Swedish Painting -
I have JO Sonja's books back to the 1970's. I keep ALL of her books. She has changed direction from the '70's and I love her old style of painting. However,I won't get rid of any of her books. She used to use only oils and that I loved. She now has her own line of paints usually in acrylics. This is a good book but for me I prefer her '70's line of painting.

An Excellent Book!! -
This is a beautifully illustrated and very informative book on many different ethnic decorative painting styles. I very highly recommend it an excellent addition to the library of any decorative painter.

Very useful resource and learning tool -
This comprehensive overview of decorative painting includes historic American, European and Asian styles. More important to me, however, was the basic information about developing a personal technique, varieties of materials available, practical information about finishes, and more. This book should be the cornerstone of any decorative painting collection.

Jo Sonja's Guide to Decorative Painting -
I am totally in awe of this book. Not only has Jo Sonja collected exquisite photographs of folk art from all over the world, she has also provided wonderful instructions for creating each of the styles on your own--and added notes for developing your own personal style. In the next millenia, Jo Sonja will be remembered for her work as one of the great folk artists of this century.
