Customer Reviews

Charles Evans shares Quick and Clever ideas!

Just got this book, but it has actually motivated me to get my watercolor pencils out and try them. He uses them in various ways: as color pencils and then applies water, as color pencils on wet paper, and by taking color off the tip of the pencil with his brush and using as watercolor. He shows that there is a messy, ugly stage that needs to be worked through to achieve the picture that you envisioned. I appreciate the book and the step by step tutorials. It is a fun way to build confidence.
