If I had this book earlier I would have saved money on paper and paints. This book is remarkable and full of interesting tips, techniques and solutions. Thanks a million times. :)

This book offers a thoughtful, comprehensive guide to all the various facets of painting with watercolors, including equipment (such as brushes, paints, and paper), preparation, techniques, and composition. As a beginner, I have found this book very useful, and my art teacher uses it as well in her classes.

Best book ever!!! Im only a third of the way through but im loving it. Every page is packed with clear details and ive learned more than all the zillion of other books ive bought. This is the most useful watercolor book!!. After paint in for over a year I now know why I have had trouble achieving success with color. Lots of valuable tips and important advice somehow all the other books somehow missed. Get it you will not be sorry! !!!
