Pat Dewsbook"Creative Discoveries in Watermedia" is the most informative and comprehensive book in my art library.Her "how to"examples are well defined which is a tremendous help to those who are new to the abstract genre and to many who need inspiration.

I ordered this book without seeing it. The customer reviews that summarize Dews' freedom and enjoyment of painting are true. She writes wonderfully and explains perfectly. When I received the book, I read all of it. She has more fun and coaxes her readers to jump up and run to the paint and, on the way, grab anything that doesn't move to add to the experience. A real fresh look at enjoying art.

We are so lucky that a talented artist like Pat Dews reveals her painting techniques to everyone. A beautifully put together book with great action photos and easy to follow directions. I especially love the painting for keemakoo. Highly recommend!!

If you are a watercolor painter, or would like to be one, this is the book for you. The author is a consummate creative professional with impeccable credentials. Her enthusiasm and creativity come through on every page. The book is beautifully organized and loaded with literally dozens of examples of the author's and others' paintings, used to illustrate every point the author makes. The author takes you through the labyrinth of the creative process, then through the mechanics of turning the blank canvas into the finished painting. Besides all that-- the book is a beautifully done creative work of art in itself.

When I saw the cover I knew this would be a book I would love. This is a inspiring book, not a "copy me" book.

This is one of the most informative books I have read on the subject of "How To" in the arts. The author writes in precise language that benefits both the beginner and advanced artists. The way she described her techniques alongside the illustrations made it easy to grasp her instructions. She shares all that she can fit into a book of this size. This book is not only exciting and inspirational but one that I will keep and refer to for many years to come.

I've been very satisfied and happy concerning the purchase if this book. It arrived within just one month, from the United States to my little town in north Iyaly, and it was in the best conditions I could hope, practically new. A great book, that I should have never found here in Italy. I warmly recommend it to everyone who wish to learn mixed watermedia techniques, Pat dews is a wonderful teacher and the photos in her books are wonderful and very explicative.

Such a great book!! Useful information and fun painting excercises with clear instructions. Pat Dews is a master and inspires to want to try innovative approaches with watercolor. Highly recommend the book and the seller. Item was on my porch earlier than expected delivery date,(which is always a pleasant surprise!) and in better than promised condition (also a pleasant surprise!).
