This book is perfect, I love it! This is a great little book for kids and adults who likes to paint rocks. The pictures are wonderful, and the instructions are easy to follow. I'm having a ball! I'm not artistic at all and usually look for ideas to paint online and in everyday items. This book has some of the cutest ideas and they all seem to be very doable for a novice like me.
