Watercolors from Photographs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Great book for watercolorists who wish to use photos for inspiration. Especially like the info on how to combine more than one photo for good composition.

Jan teaches us step by step how to transform pictures to paintings with simple insights and all the facts needed. She shares years of experience with all levels of painters. Each page takes us further along the path to being a better painter. This is one of my favorite books in my art library.

The best way to describe how valuable this book has been to me is this: when I pick up my brush, Ms. Kunz book is open and waiting within arm's reach. She covers many techniques including collaging, proportional enlargements, and even tips for how to take photos for your subject matter. It also has many step by step demonstrations with each technique-building lesson. The book even has a chapter on most asked questions including how to paint teeth!Don't worry about having pictures to get started because she includes a few in the back of the book and in each lesson.

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is a great guide for any level of artist! After checking this book out of the library several times and paying overdue book fines, I decided I couldn't live without it! I just purchased this book online. What a great instruction book from Jan Kunz on set-up, photography hints, transferring and enlargements, combining photos, painting techniques and handling problems. This book has it all. She even includes sample photographs to get you started.I'm just a beginner, but this book gave me the motivation to get started.
