I think this is great for non drawers like myself. The colors are there but they don't teach you what colors go where but I think it's up to the individual how they want to paint it. It's called creativity.
The Trace & Color Series is designed to be used with a variety of media, but I am only reviewing for use with watercolor. I use these books for studies to grow my own painting skill set.Pros:Gorgeous compositionsSuggested palette choicesTracing copies on lightweight paper which works with light tablesIncluded graphite paperCons:Line Art has too many included lines for watercolor (remember the old "paint by number" outlines?)Palette choices are for acrylic/colored pencil. You will have to know which of your paints mix to those colors for watercolor use.Tracing copies are not on vellum -- the cheap paper works, but not nearly as well.No suggestions are given for how to progress. If you don't already know how to paint a landscape, you will not be able to use this book to learn.This book series is a DISTANT second to the Ready to Paint series. If you have the skill set to use it, you are unlikely to want/need the outlines provided. If you don't already know how to watercolor a landscape, you WILL NOT be able to learn from this book. I am using it because I purchased it, and I like the compositions. I have the ability to paint a landscape, but wanted to specifically focus on ocean scapes. I would buy the Ready to Paint Coastal Landscapes instead if I were to purchase another book of watercolor studies for learning purposes..
Does not really offer specific painting techniques to follow.
Nice item for beginner or to save time drawing.
Good tracing paper incuded, however, some of the pictures are not too interesting or would be hard to trace.
great information and pictures.
Not what I expected! I thought there would be more tracing paper in the book.
