The Watercolorist's Essential Notebook - Landscapes April 27, 2008 Janice Lawson (Silverton, Oregon USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This has some great step-by-step lessons for creating different effects in a landscape watercolor. The only criticism I have of it is the drab coloring in many of the examples.
Highly Recommended February 2, 2008 NS (Portland, Oregon) This is a really great book on watercolor. It is full of wonderful tips and explanations of how to achieve many simple to advanced effects. It also explains why certain colors are better to mix with others for the results you want. It is also amazingly readable. I set it by my reading chair and I am drawn to pick it up and read just for interest. I am learning so much. FYI- I have lots of knowledge about art, but am a beginning to intermediate watercolorist.
Great book!!! January 7, 2008 Tatova Donya (State College, PA) This book offers great advice on landscape painting so, If you've wanted to paint plein air with watercolors, this is the book for you.
Really essential December 30, 2007 Gail Meyer (Antioch, CA USA) This book contains valuable techniques for the creation of landscape features in watercolor. It is perhaps a bit overwhelming for the absolute beginner, but for anyone who has a little experience with watercolors and is motivated to improve, it's a great book!
