5.0 out of 5 stars You can judge this book by its cover!, May 1, 2001

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: No More Wishy-Washy Watercolor (Hardcover)

The cover of "No More Wishy-Washy Watercolor" says it all, as does the title. Look at those yellow sunflowers. They virtually POP against the purple flowers between them (yellow and purple are color wheel opposites.) That's just one trick to make your watercolor stand out that you will learn in this book.

If you love watercolor but hate that smear of pale blue, dull green and other types of landscape problems, look in here for solutions. This is a wonderful watercolor book and a real help to anyone, experienced or beginner.

This review is from: No More Wishy-Washy Watercolor (Hardcover)

I just bought the book and I have been really enjoying it. I have found it exciting and I have been able to learn from the book because it is written so that a beginner can grasp the information. I would recommend the book to anyone wanting to learn more about watercoloring.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book that changed my way of looking at watercolors, January 1, 2002

Florence Adar (Tel Aviv Israel) - See all my reviews

This review is from: No More Wishy-Washy Watercolor (Hardcover)

I haven't finished this terrific book. Martin is a courageous and innovative watercolor painter. I love her style and she has taught me not to be timid. My paintings all looked alike. Now they blaze with color! And it's much more fun. I am still working through it, so many lessons, so many examples. If you have 5 books on watercolor painting this has got to be one of them.

Refreshing, direct, bold approach to watercolor/compositional design. Used copy in very good condition, except for a few folded page corners. Very happy with copy.
