I've found this book locally and have added it to my list of "must haves". In discovering the work of Bouguereau, I've decided to put a lid on my enthusiatic glopping and start learning to refine my painting technique. I'm actually using a mat knife to remove the lumps in my latest painting, so I can try scraping with a palette knife to scumble layers of paint on. (Next painting will have no lumps!) Too much to learn, too little time.
