4.0 out of 5 stars
This is a great book for beginners.,

This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Watercolor Techniques for Landscape (Encyclopedia of Art Series) (Hardcover)
The book gives step by step directions with pictures. It presents techniques for painting beaches, hills, waterfalls, fields, clouds, mist, pathways, etc. Although there is a section on color in the book, it is not consistently discussed in the step by step instructions for the different techniques. The use of ceramic stucco, wax resists, salt crystals, and sponges are introduced. As a beginner in watercolor, this book is one of my favorites.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good for the beginner, less useful for the experienced,
By Joanna Daneman (Middletown, DE USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (COMMUNITY FORUM 04) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Watercolor Techniques for Landscape (Encyclopedia of Art Series) (Hardcover)
I have this book but don't find that it is really an encyclopedia (where you'd go to look up a technique, for example.) The salt, sponge, lifting techniques are nicely documented, so this book would be good for a beginner who doesn't have these tricks up his or her sleeve yet. The section on skies is useful as well. In summary, if you are a beginning landscape watercolorist, you might really like this book. If you are a past master, pass this one by.

I love this instructional book for just that reason. It shows me just how to accomplish the varied techniques used to create my landscape painting. I enjoy the vibrancy with which Ms. Soan paints. This book would be a good choice for the beginning watercolor artist.
