This review is from: Watercolor Right from the Start: Progressive Lessons in Seeing and Painting (Paperback)
This is my third book written by Hilary Page. This book is a little more challenging, but with Hilary's easy written style and beautiful color pictures, you will happily draw and paint your way threw it. From Basic painting techniques to composition, it's all here.
My favorite, 'Studying Pigment Behavior'. Then Six chapters on how light, shadow and color behave with all the geometric forms is not to be missed. N.Williams
