Instructional and Inspirational - Zoltan Szabo's New Book,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Trees, Mountains and Rocks (Watercolor Basics) (Paperback)
As a beginning painter I am always searching for instructional books to help me master watercolor techniques. Zoltan Szabo's books provide not only excellent instruction in the medium, but inspire as well. This new book is no exception. In "Watercolor Basics:Trees, Mountains, and Rocks" his explanations are easy to understand and follow, and he provides the palette of colors used in each step-by-step example, which many instructional books fail to do. I find reproducing his examples gives excellent practice in both color mixing and varied techniques, which carry over to one's own work. My favorite subjects to paint are those covered in this book, so I am delighted now to have this great reference book. Mr. Szabo is not only a great painter, but a great teacher, and his books are to be treasured.
