By	Brittany I. Bellows "Helpful Reviewer" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been painting watercolor for some time now and got this book to get some different techniques then my local class provides me. The author does a great job with this book giving you step by step ways to create some of the art in his book. This book is also full of many great and helpful tips for creating wonderful results with a watercolor landscape painting. A great book for beginners or a great addition for an already established painter.
