I wanted a watercolor art book that would give me step by step lessons. This one is very good. Plus, there are many other pictures besides the ones with lessons. I didn't give it 5 stars because some of the paint colors he suggests (ex. shadow) are not available to me.
As anyone that does watercolor knows, trees are hard to do but Terry Harrison and his brushes have made it much easier to paint good trees. In this book he shows you how to use his brushes (you don't have to have his brushes) to make several different kinds of trees. As an added bonus, there are six paintings that have step by step instruction on how to paint as shown but each is designed to be able to paint in all four seasons. Very good go to book. I am sure I will be using it for years to come.
the artist is a really good artist as well as teacher, that goes without saying. That being said I feel the 'special' referenced colors takes away from the book. but its definitely a good reference book.
This book takes the mystery out of painting trees of all types for just about any landscape. Terry Harrison is one of my favorite watercolor artists and writers. I recommend him for not only beginner artists but also for more experienced artists.
I'm a beginner so all tips are helpful. I have found you just have to jump in and go for it. Thanks for the book.
Good book. I'm far from proficient but given some practice following this book I have hopes of improving.
This book also has new things for me to learn! I'm so happy with this book!
I have bought a number of watercolor instruction books but Terry Harrison's Watercolor Trees is my favorite. The step by step instructions are simple to follow with great results even though I didn't have the exact same colors he recommends. One of the only drawbacks is that he uses some of his own colors (greens and shadow) that I can't find at the local art store. Of course there are other greens to use but I would like to get as close to his as possible and he doesn't tell you how to mix standard colors to get his shades. So it's hit and miss. I have always thought of shadows as just a grey but his is a light reddish purple. It looks wonderful in the book.If you can draw a simple tree this book will show you how to bring it to colorful life. It also explains how to do simple but effective reflections in rivers and puddles which is very impressive. I now want to do all my landscapes with reflections. I have since ordered his three special greens and the shadow color which shipped from England to the Seattle area. Once I receive the paints I will be attempting all the tutorials in the book.
