4.0 out of 5 stars Easy-to-read, May 22, 1999

This review is from: Basic Watercolor Techniques (Basic Technique) (Paperback)

This book is very beginnerish, but is good as a reference for the more experienced artist. It covers a little bit of everything for you and is inspiring. I am glad I own this book. In fact, the spine on it is almost worn out from using it so much.

This review is from: Basic Watercolor Techniques (Basic Technique) (Paperback)

The book is comprehensive indeed, but as a BASIC course, the book seems to assume some level of previous art experience. I had questions about brush care and other small details which were not covered.
