I liked this little book, and I'm not sure that knowing the exact colors the artist uses will make people better artists, but I think the essential message is, not to be intimidated, just start painting. The author has used simple sketches that can be easily copied or inspire an individual to move on their own ideas. It has a good list of materials for beginners that does not require a large investment, and a good source for art materials online instead of the outrageous prices found at most art stores.
As a new artist, I needed a watercolor medium discussion that was down to earth. The book had great demonstrations for beginners. I really appreciated the author telling me what colors were used in the demonstration. That was a great help. I would recommend this book to anyone is just beginning to work with watercolor. It was a great purchase.
I enjoyed painting the pictures step-by-step. A lot of what a beginner needs to know is in this workbook. Mr. Green takes a friendly, informative approach. The best thng is that he inspires confidence.I recommend this workbook to beginner watercolorists.
I read this book from cover to cover in one sitting. Two days later I read it again only this time I took notes. Some really good ideas and suggestions. If you enjoy watercolor, you will enjoy this book.
Keeping it for reference in my watercolor book library. Use it for lots of practice pieces on a regular basis.
I bought a cup of coffee at one of the big name places….the coffee was bad but at least i got to keep the fancy paper cup. This book cost about the same amount and i didn't even get a fancy paper cup. In fact, i didn't get much. This is an example of self publishing at its poorest. It was not well written and apparently never proof-read. Beyond the writer's careful listing of the colors he used, there is not much information in it's very short length. He never does really help beginners begin to paint. He does, however, do his best to impress us with his use of words like "gawping" and "peckish" and goes out of his way to tell us to pack a "cardigan" and a "parasol" when going to paint outdoors. If i had it to do over again, i'd return this book and buy another cup of bad coffee, at least i'd have a paper cup to keep fresh water in as i paint.
This is a relatively short instruction book but for the price was a good value. As a beginning watercolorist it gave me some very useful information and advice.
I will use this for teaching ten year old girl scouts. I am professional but love to use simple examples for beginner classes
