Both the Javier Gomez book and ...Thanks Jacksarge! Both the Javier Gomez book and the "Wargames Illustrated Paints" booklet go well together. They're fairly complimentary. One of the nice things about both books is that they cover painting from the starting point of (mainly) using Vallejo acrylic paints. They take different approaches using the same paint, but the results are similar. The Javier Gomez book is (in my view) better for the beginner, and "Wargames Illustrated Paints" is more aimed at the intermediate painter. <br /><br />Both books, however, have loads to teach everyone!Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279786472578722137.post-14347726901946779212016-02-01T10:44:23.510+00:002016-02-01T10:44:23.510+00:00Nate, it really is a good purchase.
