This the first in a series of two. I reviewed them at a popular bookstore and decided these were "Must Haves". I really enjoyed all the detailed info about the grades of watercolor buy company. I enjoyed the authors detail in making this like a watercolor class. I have since painted from a photo, bought or increaed my pallet of colors. It explains about color temperature and all sorts of really usable tricks...er I ment tacticks. His love of his profession really is an inspiration. If he wrote more books I certainly would get them as well. I look at them and pick out a new method and just do it. I do feel it is comparable to taking a class. It is that good. I bought the Landscape one and have learned so much as well. Great Water Color instruction, clear and honest discussions, great art to just look at and say "How did he do that?" And then it is explained and you pick up the brush and try. Happy Camper, Thanks to E-bay for selling it and a really huge thanks to the author, Gordon MacKenzie for sharing his lifes work and his remarkable talent and ability to teach Watercolor Painting as well.Read full review
Excellent book...I recommend it for any watercolor artists, especially beginners. The first 30 pages alone can save you a ton of money and headache. All sorts of useful information about; color and pigment, brushes, paper, etc. I wish I had this book at the beginning of my watercolor journey, all the subjects are broke down into very easily understood wording, very easy to read. At the whopping price of 5.20 shipped for a very nice used copy this is a steal.

This is my second copy. It is by far the best basic book I have ever seen on watercolor. It talks about quality of different pigments, flow rate, staining, colorfastness. It tells about the different qualities of supplies: brushes, papers, etc. It gives simple, easy-to-understand examples of negative painting, positive painting, and different techniques for different effects. All written clearly and simply. Have loaned it to friends and gotten the same rave reviews.
Lots of very useful information in this book!
