Customer Reviews

One of my favorite watercolor books!

This book has mostly black and white photos, with a a few pages of color paintings. But don’t let that turn you off! It has very detailed instructions on how to paint beautiful landscapes, as well as mix colors from only a small palette. It is a “text-heavy” book, with a lot of helpful information. It also has a wonderful section at the beginning on the history of watercolor, with biographies of some of the most famous watercolor artists from history. It’s a very inspiring book, and one I have really enjoyed reading.
