5.0 out of 5 stars
Great as in showing 'how Szabo does it.',
By A Customer
This review is from: Zoltan Szabo's Color-By-Color Guide to Watercolor (Hardcover)
This book cannot replace the Michael Wilcox's Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green in terms of basic completeness, clarity, and universal applicability. It's more of an idiosyncratic look at how one artist makes use of his paint choices. You will come away seeing how Szabo does it, but its applicability in a *general" way is severely limited. That being said, the book is a great instruction book. Every painting (one every 2 pages) has step by step instruction and the ideas he has for using only 5 pigments max per painting are excellent.

It is a book you return to again and again!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Zoltan Szabo's Color-By-Color Guide to Watercolor (Hardcover)
In learning the characteristics of watercolor, this is a book I return to again and again. The author has classified each basic color as to its' transparency, its' complement, and executes a painting with that palette, and much more!

Very Informative About Pigments & Colors,
By JosyMaude "josymaude" (Sarasota, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zoltan Szabo's Color-by-Color Guide to Watercolor (Paperback)
I have the hard cover edition. This is an excellent color book for learning and reviewing watercolor pigments & paints. This book illistrates how to use these pigments and paints in various watercolor works of art. The properties of each color are thoroughly explained with printed samples of the color and the complementary color shown. Also the other colors that work well with each pigment are shown, along with a sample of a successful work of art containing these colors. I'm very glad to add this to my library of watercolor books.
