I did almost all the paintings in this book over the summer. It was a great way for me to feel successful in creating good watercolor paintings without much experience. The tutorials are excellent.

This is a good starter book on watercolor. Basic techniques and some nice paintings as examples.

Detailed, but fairly advanced. Not great for beginners.

Like all DK books this one is full of colorful pictures and covers all the basics to get one started with watercolor paints.

I though the examples were a little advanced for beginners.
