This review is from: Experiments in Watercolor (Hardcover)

If you find a bare piece of watercolor paper a bit daunting and can't think of what to paint, this book is for you. His exercises are great and it's definitely gotten me out of a long watercolor painting slump. One of my favorite watercolor books. It's got 20 days of painting instruction it it. I like the format very much.
