The in-depth tutorials mean that you can shape the technique to fit a personal style of working, perfect for those wishing to create unique pieces of art that reflect their own visions . . . What is special about Landscapes in Wool is how well-rounded the book is . . . not only a simple how-to guide, but instead a stand-alone work of art . . .
