this is an excellent book! It makes seemingly hard textures, forms and shapes, simple. It shows the colors and mediums you use. It makes it all so simple! I highly recomend this book for the watercolor landscape artist!

This review is from: Watercolor Landscape (DK Art School) (Hardcover)

Getting this book took a bit longer than I thought it would. I thought it would arrive by Wed., not Saturday.
I expected the book to show up at my house it a like-new condition.
It did look ok. As I was leafing through it I soon became aware of a nasty smell. I began to sniff it and came away with the conclusion that this book had been exposed to some gasoline. I had saved the package and soon found that their was a strong smell in the empty sack and none on the outside. Please understand: I am not saying I had a CSI machine to scientifically examine this book. I just used my nose. It was a subjective examination.
I can tell you that I think this book will be good for my purposes, once I figure out how to de-smell it. (Does anyone have a suggestion?) The book would be a good addition to an artists library.
I won't buy anything through this seller in the future.
