Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
YA?This publisher has produced several books on working in watercolor, but this volume concentrates on still lifes: brushstrokes, composition, light, form, tone, negative space, and transparent and opaque techniques. Fine-art paintings are chosen to illustrate a skill or technique, the instructions are clearly worded and easy-to-follow, and the pictures are gorgeous. An excellent guide for independent study by beginning or developing art students.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good step-by-step,
This review is from: Watercolor Still Life (DK Art School) (Hardcover)
This book does have very nice pictures and the instructions are clear. It targets the beginner but if you have a little experience you would still get something out of it. I didn't find it as good as some other instruction books that are out there, so don't make it the ONLY watercolor instruction book that you have in your how-to collection.
5.0 out of 5 stars
