This is probably the best book on watercolor techniques that I have found. It does not have copy cat"do it like this" instructions but rather has real techniques that you can use to improve your personal style and subjects.

This review is from: Paint Watercolors That Dance with Light (Hardcover)

This book is very inspirational for those who like to use watercolor in a bold, saturated way. Ms. Kincaid has a great deal of knowledge to share, and her paintings are beautiful. I use it often both as a teacher and a painter. A must have!
