4.0 out of 5 stars
Easy-to-read,
By A Customer
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.

Assumes prior knowledge,
By edward filek (culver city, ca USA) - See all my reviews
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.
