This was one of the first book I baught that related to Watercolors. It encouraged me to start an art book library. I could have never believed before that it was possible to find an established artist who would share the secrets of his sucess with others... I got astonished when I noticed that: there was not only one; but 90 of the most important contemporary watercolor artists, explaining through a compilation of 150 beautiful artworks how they created these masterpieces throughout their artistic experience and got to be who they are .Excellent choice of paintings,excellent texts,excellent printing quality. Very inspiring and educational... A must buy for the beginning artist as well as for the experienced , not to forget the art collector who believes that watercolor is a "serious" medium and not one for steches only.
Inspirational keeper!

This book is not just for the watercolor enthusiast, as it focuses on "breakthroughs"...something any artist can appreciate. Watercolor is only one of the mediums that I use, but I go through this book over and over, always finding something refreshing that helps in whatever work I'm doing. It's great that some of the breakthroughs mentioned are not limited to the technique alone, revealing the "true" nature of being a working artist. The Splash series of books are often the ones I choose to keep in my reference library.
