simple but excellent pairing tips

This does exactly what it says: hies through all the basics of water color painting in a very clear concise way. The pictures make the steps easy to see. The lessons build on each other from simple compositions to more complex.

The colors used are garish and unappealing. Maybe it's the printing of the book? The portraits of the people and the dog were much better than the rest of the book. I'm glad I didn't purchase this book--got it at the library.

Disappointed

Following instructions will not give anything like they show step by step. Extras are always added to the illustrations that are not ever shown in any printing in the book.

Tried and True Basics

Clear instruction for the beginner. Always a good idea to revisit the basics when artist block shows up. Excellent value.

Some good basic points, but don’t care for the colors in almost any of the paintings

Loved it

Nicely detailed book for watercolor. I'm more interested in acrylics, but this gave me something to think about in getting better.

Lots of step by step projects

While at first, I thought the projects would be simple skies and landscapes. But as we progress, there are some nice pets and even a human. While not the most beginner friendly I’ve read, these projects are still simply laid out so anyone would be tempted to try. A nice book!
