5.0 out of 5 stars The answer to my prayers!!, August 25, 2000

Dena McKee (Moss Point, MS USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Painting Weathered Buildings in Pen, Ink & Watercolor (Hardcover)

As an artist who paints buildings and landmarks, this book has been the answer to my prayers. In the past, it has been a trial and error effort to create realistic looking bricks, stones and other building parts without any real quide to teach me. This book included solutions for every texture I've tried to create and saved me valuble time with step by step instructions and examples. I recommend this as a guide for every artist whether beginning or advanced that wants to paint buildings.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Painting Weathered Buildings in Pen, Ink & Watercolor (Artist's Photo Reference S.) (Paperback)

This is an outstanding book. The author goes into detail on how she creates the effects in her illustrations. Many of her ideas and techniques can be carried over into other subject material. This was one of the best art instruction books I have purchased in regards to watercolor and ink. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for insight on creating wonderful textures with this media. However, I would suggest reading reviews of the author's other books to select the subject matter you like best before deciding which one to get because there is apparently some overlap.
