This is a wonderful book with valuable advice for beginning projects, a comprehensive materials list, lovely detailed photographs and great suggestions for innovative techniques. I think painters at any level could learn something from this book.
Lots of great ideas and techniques! I shared this with my watercolor teacher and she's already implemented some of them in our class.
I was hesitant to order, yet another watercolor book from a seasoned artist, BUT, this book is different, it is well worth the cost. I believe the artist/author was successful in teaching technique, without boxing the beginner into a style. She encouraged the reader/beginner to let-go of the "paint-by-number concept" and trust the vision. The sections on paper, brushes and paint was very helpful: explaining the differences as attributes, rather than challenges. I found the book to be invaluable for the beginner and motivational for the seasoned watercolorist.
This is a very good book for beginners as it goes over the basics of watercolor painting and the ways of working with water. I like how she includes other media like working on Yupo, trying out collage and watercolor pencils. She also has links to videos and more reading material you can access from the book.
This book is very educational, easy to read and immediately brings a good motivation to start , without fear, to learn watercolor. Excellent!
Wonderful book for beginners
