5.0 out of 5 stars Great introductory book/kit; great value as well, January 9, 2008

I'm new to watercolors, and I found this book to be a great introduction - many, many good illustrations, much discussion about materials, colors/mixing/theory, technique, light, etc. I'm sure I'll refer to the book again and again as I learn to paint with watercolors. The 'sketch pad' is a nice size, too, and the kit includes 2 brushes and a minimal set of watercolors with 2 other small areas to mix colors. A good travel kit.

This is a smaller book than I am used to for an art how- to- difficult to see the techniques outlined because of smaller page sizes. I didn't like it as well as the other art books I recently ordered.
