Finishing effects book recommendations?

Greetings all!

As suggested by the title, I wonder if anyone has any recommemdations for books about advanced finishing techniques. I'm not a beginner, perhaps a novice, but...
Well the truth is I absolutely hate painting my work. I've seen and read several videos and essays to get me through washes, the perfect Allclad finish, chipped paint and the like. I'd like a collected resource.
I do have several websites linked, but you can never have to many resources.

So, any books come to mind?

Thank you kindly,
Thomas

Hi Thomas, here is a link for some great DVD's - https://www.stanwinstonschool.com/videos
Every once in a while, they have a 50% off deal... That's when I grab them!
I have purchased 4 so far, and they are amazing!

Wow Tyler, never seen those DVDs, really excellent stuff! Thanks for the link.

I'd also like to say mark Alfrey has some really great DVDs as well.
Markalfrey.com

No problem... If we don't share knowledgeable tid-bits with each other, then it's waisted knowledge... And I agree with you about Mark Alfrey, I have all his video's, and they are big time awesomo! Very talented dude (*******... )
If you haven't already, check out http://www.conceptart.org/. A wealth of knowledge.
I hope Adam Beane's DVD comes out soon. It will be interesting how he approaches sculpting.
Hope this helps!
