This is an excellent book for those who are interested in watercolour landscape painting and would like to learn how to go about it. Everything from paper selection, brushes to choose, paint colours to select for your palette, to several good exercises to try, and many tutorials, are contained in this book. If watercolour is your thing, this is the book you want.

His books are just excellent, very different from many artist authors. Watching his DVD does help tremendously with the books, although not necessary.

I am a near beginner. Meaning I know the basic of paints and brushes but am not very good at painting.

And this book helped me tremendously!!! I have tried 2 other books but this one simply "clicked"! My paintings have definitely improved and I would recommend this author. He takes you from simple monochrome paintings where he makes you focus on tones and washes, onto 2-3 color paintings where you are made to realize the importance of right contrasts ... and finally to full fledged paintings. I have not yet got to doing a "full" painting and am still at the 2-3 color paintings, but it has definitely helped me so far. And he makes you paint beautiful yet simple paintings even at the monochrome stage. And seeing such early results encouraged me to do more.

I will certainly buy his books in future. Unfortunately Amazon has one 1 DVD from him! Goggle showed me the others can be bought paying in pounds!!!

I'm not impressed with this book, it's not for beginners, it dose'nt have enough instruction on "how to do" or "how this is achived" hardly anthing on brushes or paints. very dissopointed with this book.
