By A Customer
This review is from: How to Paint Water (Hardcover)
This book offers great projects in watercolor, oil, pastel and mixed media with lots of finished work and step by step examples. It has improved the impression of "water" in my paintings remarkably.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bringing water to life !, July 11, 2000
This review is from: How to Paint Water (Hardcover)
It's always a burning desire to capture as close the minute details in a scenary picture or the scenery itself. Water often proved to be the hardest to express its formless self.

This book discussed in details the interpretation of water features using the different media like oil, pastel, water colour. All along, it had been thought that watercolour produces the best details with depth. But the book shows that other media can achieve similar effects as well.

Many examples are discussed in step-by-step approach and illuatsated in sequences to teach about the built-up, so it's a simplified step to learning. Many medium are explore adding to the variety of expression that beginners can explore.

Well formatted and recommended for beginners and intermediate painters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loaded with inspiration and techniques, February 15, 2002
By 
virginia Hoge (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Paint Water (Hardcover)
I really enjoyed the focus of this book on painting water. Water is such an essential element of so many landscapes, it was really nice to read a book devoted to it, and not just a sub-chapter.

I also really enjoyed the numerous color reproductions of paintings throughout the book which were well-chosen and beautiful to look at.
