5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book!, December 8, 2001
By 
Natalie Pappas (Fort Worth, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Light in Watercolor: How to Create Light, Space, and Atmosphere in Your Paintings (Paperback)
I browsed this book in the bookstore many times before I actually purchased it, and I'm glad I did. The simplistic approach the artist takes with her paintings captivate me; the light lights contrasted with the dark darks are breathtaking, and yet everything seems so soft and pastel-looking. I have learned a lot about value because of this book. It's wonderful. Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow and wow again! A visual treat, inspiring and helpful, January 29, 2001
This review is from: Light in Watercolor: How to Create Light, Space, and Atmosphere in Your Paintings (Paperback)
If you love watercolor (just to look or also to paint them) you may possibly adore this book as much as I do.

Lucy Willis is immensely talented. Her feeling for light and how to handle it with watercolor is nothing short of amazing. She does many of the paintings in this book "a la prima" or without pencil drawing first. This fact alone astonished me as her rendering is draftsman-accurate with a brush. She also has a nice section on painting interior scenes. I hope she writes another book, so I can see more of her delightful work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Light in Watercolor, November 3, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Light in Watercolor: How to Create Light, Space, and Atmosphere in Your Paintings (Paperback)
I bought this book from Amazon.com and am thrilled with this purchase. It arrived promptly well within the specified time, and is in very good condition.

Lucy Willis' paintings are brilliant, and there is at least one painting per page in the 125 pages. The explanations of the techniques are stated very clearly making understanding within easy reach.

I would recommend Light in Watercolour by Lucy Willis(artist) and Sally Bulgin(text writer) to anyone interested in watercolour painting.
