Very comprehensive book!,
This review is from: The Ultimate Watercolor Course: Simple Techniques to Paint Like the Pros (Readers Digest) (Hardcover)
I loved this book! It covers more topics than any other beginning watercolor book I have read. Each lesson is illustrated to demonstrate the technique they are explaining. Tips are given as well for each lesson... some obvious, some pretty insightful!
Yes, it does have a lot of drawing technique lessons and such, but as I like to do a full drawing before painting, I think those sections are very helpful. And it is giving me more ideas about combining drawing with watercolors. I learned a lot from this book, and I would highly recommend it to anyone starting in watercolors. Especially if you prefer to draw your paintings first before putting paint to paper. However, for traditional plein air aritsts that paint without drawing, maybe this book isn't for you. For you, I would suggest looking at a copy at the bookstore before purchasing.

MORE A COURSE ON DRAWING.............,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Ultimate Watercolor Course: Simple Techniques to Paint Like the Pros (Readers Digest) (Hardcover)
I was extremely disappointed with this volume as I purchased it after being so delighted with RD's complete watercolor set. I thought I would get more of the beautiful and informative art that, that set had, but no......The book is pale and under illustrated and what color work there is childish and uninspiring.
Moreover, the book is almost entirely too much about drawing and not enough about painting. While this might be good for an absolute beginner with little intelligence who is still fixated on words it is not at all for someone wanting the visual stimuli to paint along with great examples. Search elsewhere for a comprehensive book on Water Color Painting!

A Must Have,

This review is from: The Ultimate Watercolor Course: Simple Techniques to Paint Like the Pros (Readers Digest) (Hardcover)
One of the ways in which I select a book to buy is to first see can I check it out from my local library. This was the case with, The Ultimate Watercolor Course: Simple Techniques to Paint Like the Pros by Readers Digest. After reading this book, amongst many, I knew that I wanted to own a copy. Why? Because of its abundance of easy to understand knowledge on the subject of Watercoloring (especially for the beginner painter).
