Seascapes & Sunsets (Watercolor Made Easy)

Very nice exercises for painting, though I found them rather difficult.

I had known of Mr. Needham's great talent as a watercolorist, and in fact know that he has been a master water color artist for over 40 years, and honed his craft to perfection. I also know that he teaches watercolor/art classes and was excited to get this book. The book starts with basics of correct brushes, paints, water, palettes, and paper/boards, and walks you through the various methods of painting skies, coastal beaches, rocky beaches, lighthouses, boats, birds/gulls, sunsets, etc. Wet on wet techniques, methods of painting from imagination and from photos, all add to the delightful and instructive benefits of this book. My only regret is that I did not study watercolor under Mr. Needham for several years back in college. He is a rare combination of a great painter and a great teacher.

Smaller size only issue I have.

Very informative for a beginner. Goos examples and instruction. Very satisfied with purchase.

The techniques for creating seascapes and sunsets was helpful in my interest of Watercolor Painting.I am always interested in tips and techniques to improve my paintings. This book is very good.

Seascapes and Sunsets is a very tiny edition compared to all of my other art books and especially my Walter Foster books; it is only 6 1/2 by 9 1/2 inches. The reproductions of the color prints and photos are less than postcard size and therefore hard to see in detail without eyestrain and the print is very small. If the book had been printed in the usual, larger formats, it would be lovely and informative as the author uses warm colors in very interesting ways. It's just very hard to use. Might be good for backpackers.

I love the color recommendations for the watercolor pallet. This allows artists who have little experience around the sea or ocean to begin with appropriate colors. Correct colors offer simple suggestions for beginning and experienced artists. Thank you Thomas Needham for such a practical text.

Great little book, easy to understand and great examples that are easy to use to practice watercolors.

Excellent service. Some good projects in book but technique not always fully explained.

Its a good little book and yet it offers alot, theirs step by step instructions with very good pictures and can take this book whilst travelling as the size is right to fit in handbag.

very good book for a novice painteri do think you need some experience to use it.it is one of the better explained books that I've read.the pictures are very clear and beautifull.what's also nice is that the writer says which colors you have to use.

This is a really good book it is small in size but holds a lot of subjects in waterclour and one of the best books i have bought and very good value

Just what I was looking for as I am keen to learn about these scenes. Good book for me Thanks
