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.

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

Very good for beginners
It's a perfect book for beginners. Very easy to follow steps and the projects given are also very interesting. I wish there were more lessons included.

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

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!
