Hi Leslie,
I have the same book and I find the techniques between artists are pretty much the same. I was very disappointed in this book. In fact I had done more research before, and the Flemish artists' techniques are very incomplete and there are a lot of steps missing.
There is a really good demo of the Flemish technique at this site. You have to pay though. This is the site.
