Painting in Watercolor: The Indispensable Guide Hardcover – Illustrated, 1 January 2016

Excellent pictures and quality book. Good instructions

De los mejores libros sobre técnica de acuarela que tengo. Estupenda calidad de impresión y encuadernado. Los ejemplos para trabajar son avanzados, pero merece la pena persistir. A mi me ha ayudado mucho.

En definitiva una de mis libros preferidos de acuarela. Me encantó la manera en que está estructurado y como va desarrollando las técnicas. Muy recomendado.

Ein Gutes Buch , sehr umfangreich und gut gestaltet. Insbesondere die Darstellung der Arbeitsweisen verschiedener Painter in Kapitel 5 hat mir gut gefallen.

This book is very very interesting! Good quality of photos. A lot of fabulous artists. I am very happy of this book.

Good information to help in learning watercolor painting.

buena compra

Very nice book!

good reference

very nice book

Wonderful pictures, and inspiring ideas.If sometimes I feel like painting and can't come up with ideas, I reach for this book. It's beautifully produced, with clear instruction and beautiful illustrations . I thought it was sad that a reviewer said she gave it only three stars because it took 7 days to get there. This is ridiculous and unfair to the artist. Amazon should read these kinds of reviews before publishing them. I'm sorry to say that some people are just idiots. Critiquing a book based on shipping illustrates this perfectly.

There are so many books available on the subject of watercolor painting that one can get bewildered as to which one is "best" for you. Simply put, no one book is the "best" because of the complexity of the subject. Watercolor is a wonderful and yet sometimes awfully difficult medium. Therefor the painter needs all the help he or she can get on the demonstration of the basics. One needs a book on this subject to be clear and unambiguous, particularly for the beginner or the painter who has dabbled in watercolor but wants to go to the next step. In that capacity this book is excellent!I often add a watercolor book to my collection purely because of the painting examples that are included. The text may be boring, poorly written or even useless but the watercolor illustrations can make it worthwhile having. The examples in this book by both the author and other artists achieve that. The demonstration illustrations are clear and the selection of other artist's works are varied enough to show the reader a great variety of approaches to watercolor painting.

This book can be a textbook for all levels of painting. The instructions are so clear that I can literally paint along as though reading a recipe for a cake. I've painted many fun and easy paintings from this book. It's also a lovely coffee table book.

This book has lots of information about watercolor painting!! Chapter One is about the paints, papers, and the supplies needed. Chapter Two goes into various techniques used: flat wash, gradated wash, wet on wet, etc. Chapter Three is all about composition, placing elements and drawing the viewer's eye. Chapter Four gives examples of various textures and forms, including portraits. And Chapter Five shows how different artists approach their work. The massive amount of beautiful examples in the book are inspiring and sprinkled throughout the book are little exercises you can try. This is probably the best book on watercolor painting that I have. So glad I bought it!!

I am totally new to watercolor painting and this is just the right book for me. I am enjoying trying out each project and learning new techniques. I have watched and painted with a few youtube videos, but sometimes the videos are faster than I would like and not having a checklist of the supplies/paint colors/etc... beforehand proves difficult. That is where this book is helpful! And I can always refer back to the projects when I need to. Overall, this book is well written and the projects are great. The projects may not appeal to everyone's taste, but they do teach you how to get the look you want in your paintings.
