I had been recommended this book and had delayed buying it until now. I wish I had bought it sooner as it is very clear and will be very useful.

Reasonable help in understanding watercolour painting

This is a very useful book for someone with a bit of knowledge of watercolours who wants to progress. Detailed projects to follow and handy advice and tips.

David Bellamy is a wonderful watercolourist and I have many of his books. This one is exceptionally clear and helpful. I have found his tip of drying wet washes with a hair dryer quite invaluable. Super book - would recommend to anyone wanting to master this very difficult medium.

Really good book. David Bellamy explains everything so well. Book in very good condition despite smelling a tad musty as second hand. Good price and good service.

Excellent book as are all David 's books.

Brilliant book, great guidance and tips! Great value for money!

This is a really wonderful book with professional, in depth guidance to paint a very wide variety of subjects - everything you could want. There is so much easy to read guidance for techniques and use of colour. The step by step projects are challenging but all the information you need to complete them is in the book. I am a beginner in watercolour, but do have some artistic experience and I think you would need that too to try the projects. His chosen paintings are so beautiful it makes you want to try. His use of colour is a huge inspiration. Such a beautiful book, I'm so glad I bought it.

Das Buch ist sehr übersichtlich aufgebaut. Am Anfang steht eine gut begründete Materialempfehlung. Schritt für Schritt erfährt der Leser wie das jeweilige Bild aufgebaut wird. Verständliche Beispiele für Tonwerte (Licht und Schatten), sowie Kompositionslehre (wo kommt was hin). Zahlreiche Tips und Tricks, selbst das schwierige Thema „ Darstellung von Wasser „ wird erläutert. Eine eigene Klasse für sich ist die hervorragend lavierende Technik. Farbverläufe die Landschaften in eine unglaubliche Atmosphäre tauchen. Oder als unschärfer Hintergrund für detailliert illustrierte Objekte im Vordergrund, ähnlich des bewussten Einsatzes von Unschärfe in der Fotografie.. .

Livro muito bom e direcionado principalmente para quem está iniciando na pintura de aquarela.Valeu o investimento na compra!

I had the opportunity to borrow a copy this book from my painting instructor before I purchased it from Amazon, and found that it exceeded my expectations, so I decided to purchase it. The content is very good for the beginner to intermediate water color painter. The projects for practice are very detailed and include step by step instruction. This will make a great addition to my reference library. I purchased the book used, and received it promptly and in very good condition.

Good book. Recommended.
