I just love the quality of the book and the pages. Such a well thought of product. There's not many tutorials or such in this book. This is more about the author's journey and thought process regarding art. She also mentions tools and equipment she uses and some tips and tricks of her style. If you're into beautiful pictures and want reference photos of her work this book would be a great choice. Review: Amazing and Inspiring - This art book is so inspiring. It relates the life of the artist Heikala and how she grew in her art. It features some of her works and some tutorials of her technique. This art book is a must to an artist who is struggling in their art or simply a good read and reference for watercolour painters. The printing and overall presentation of this art book is a treat!
