    One of the best books for the Beginner to learn techniques
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 14, 2013*

I started water painting and it is really, really hard to do well.  Part of it is that I did not know who to work with the paints.  This book takes you through all the different things you can do with watercolour paints and how to use them.  They also have a section on paints and brushes so that you do not waste your money.  But, I think in the paint section they should have included M. Graham & Co. Watercolor paints, as they are fantastic and you can get them in 1/2 oz tubes, 5 for around $50!  He also has a set o primary colors and a few others that I would recommend.  But, I have to agree that Daniel Smith, for me is the best.SIDE NOTE AND A GREAT FIND!!!Benjabelle Mini Brush Tree:I know these are made for make up brushes, but the key word here is" brushes".  As Artists we need to keep anddry our brushes tip down, especially watercolour brushes as a size 12 in Pure Kolinsky Sablewill cost you up to $400 retail and around $300 on sale!!  When water gets into the brushes' ferrule, it degrades the brush andthe brush also CANNOT be left with the tip down or standing in water.This is the perfect solution.  A Must have!!!  And it comes in different sizes and colours.  I have mine assembled and then I mounted each one on a block of styrofoam to make it even taller.  Just cut in a cross and used glue to keep it there.  I will decorate the styrofoam to make look better LOLOther books that would help you learn even if you are an intermediate painter is:For any Artist:Color Mixing Bible, by Ian Sidaway_________________________"COLOR WORKS, the Crafters Guide to Color" by Deb MenzFOR ANYONE who wants to know about COLOR THEORY this text breaks it down so that ANYONE can understand this complexsubject.  I learnt more about color theory in this book than all others put together because I now "Understand" the concept.While this book is for the textile artist, ALL artists should get it and it also has cut outs to use when choosing yourcolour palette whether it be for Fashion Design or Art.________________________________For Watercolour:Water Colour in motion, O'ConnorPainting Watercolour that dance with light, KincaidPainting flowers with Impact in Watercolour, CollinsJean Haine's Atmosphere WatercoloursWatercolour from the Heart, NechisHow to Paint Watercolor Flowers, Create Your Own in 6 Easy Steps, Robin Berry for Reader's DigestVibrant Flowers in Watercolour by Soon Y. Warren is just off the hook!!!  She is an AMAZING Artist.Those are just my favorites so far, I have a ton as I believe that you need to keep learning to stay fresh.

    Buy the original; Avoid the Echo Point edition
  

*by M***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 27, 2021*

This book is excellent if you seek out the original 1995 edition. The more recent Echo Point reprint, however, is a poor reproduction. The photographs are horribly blown out, the colors are dull and hard to distinguish between similar hues, the font is fatiguing to the eye, and the paper feels cheap to the touch. It’s almost as if they photocopied the original and printed it out on 8 1/2x11 paper using an inkjet printer.When I received the reprint, I was so disappointed, I ordered a copy of the original to compare, as I had been told this book was excellent. Indeed the differences in quality were astounding. I returned the reprint immediately and kept the original edition to enjoy.My photograph doesn’t do it justice, but you can see the color wheel in the original book (left) compared with the reprint (right.) It’s almost impossible to separate reds and oranges in the reprinted edition.

    HIghly recommended for beginners and advanced artists
  

*by H***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 6, 2017*

I got this for my wife, who is taking up watercolor.  I did some research online and this book came highly recommended.  Now that I have it, I can see why.  The book is designed to help beginning artists, as well as serve as a reference.  It starts with the basics(brushes, colors, equipment), and moves on to techniques and style.  I was thoroughly impressed, and my wife loved it.EDIT: After looking through this book some more, I am even more impressed.  It could easily be used as a textbook for a university-level art class, there is a TON of material here.  You could use this one book for a lifetime of painting.
