Using inspiring visual examples, this handbook simplifies the complexities of watercolor painting, so artists of all levels can build their skills and achieve better results.

Presented in an easy-to-reference format that covers everything from materials to marketing, this guide provides artists with simple, direct instruction for: using tonal values to create a better painting; creating attractive pen and watercolor drawings; using glazes to create atmosphere and mood; directing the viewer's eye by controlling focus and edges; painting subjects every artist must master.

Wade includes trouble-shooting tips, self-critique questionnaires and helpful hints artists can quickly absorb and apply. With its unique, interactive approach to teaching, this guide is the next best thing to attending a one-on-one workshop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply a great book, August 14, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Robert Wade's Watercolor Workshop Handbook (Hardcover)
Wade's book takes the aspiring artist through all of the techniques and approaches that make him such an engaging painter. He does this with detailed and very systematic discussions and lots and lots of paintings (many more than in most watercolor books). This book (as does Robert Lovett's companion book) covers as much territory as 4 usual books. I've learned a great deal from Wade's book and continue to learn from him. I cannot recommend it too highly.

This review is from: Robert Wade's Watercolor Workshop Handbook (Hardcover)
A great book for those wanting to advance their watercolor skills and gain confidence in creativity. Not for the detailed photographic artist but providing an excellent balance between realism and impressionism. The author has outstanding technical skills in selecting and using different pigments. The included examples of his work are outstanding. Excellent printing and production.
