What a wonderful watercolor book! Besides the beautiful paintings inside, there are many techniques, material guidance and pages on rendering help throughout the book. Pick this up to be inspired by the medium and learn a lot too!

I admire John Pikes' paintings and gleaned a few tips but I think that this book is more geared for beginners I guess that means I am further along or either a snob! I am looking for more such as the process of making art rather than the mechanics.

Great book. I learnt so many things from this book. I am forever indebted to it. Must read book for anyone who wants to learn the art of watercolor.
