Review # 1 was written on 2020-03-06 00:00:00 Alicia Moreno Ramos This book is just what it proclaims itself to be, which is nice. I've read watercolor books before and they try to be all 'you have to buy THESE SPECIFIC TOOLS AND DO IT THIS WAY AND YOU MUST BE PERFECT OR YOUR WATERCOLOR WILL LOOK HORRID'--basically, advanced watercolor for dummies, which ticks me off--I'm not a perfectionist. This book is simple but thorough, without patronising the beginner. It has plenty of full-color illustrations and very readable text. General principles for watercolor usage are solidly demonstrated, and important aspects like composition, color, and perspective are covered as well. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in watercolors, mainly the 'absolute beginner', although there are a few good tips in here that even advanced artists could learn from.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-09-10 00:00:00 Bernd Nitsche A GREAT book for the beginner, or for a person thinking to review beginning techniques. Taking this with a class in watercolor painting is perfect for me. I can't set up my desk properly yet though. 1. Use a rag to blot your brushes, instead of a paper towel. Rinse it out or throw it away. 2. My teaches, Kathy Pickett, uses a liquid mastic with a pointed applicator top, which works really well. 3. Ms. Robertson is unclear about brushes. I would recommend a #2, A #6, and a 1/2 inch flat. Then a rigger and a fan. BUT GET the best brushes you can, watercolor brushes. Yes, you'll pay over $7 each. Beware of the brushes on page 6. 4. I think I need several different sponges with different sizes holes. Maybe not. 5. Get rag paper. It's e$pen$ive and worth it. I would get some purple or red / violet in a tube, instead of mixing it. . . I don't like spattering; it looks like something by an amateurish Jackson Pollock. . . I'm still working on salt, it doesn't pick up the paint . . . maybe I need kosher salt?
