Encyclopedia of Watercolor techniques
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is an outstanding resource of techiques that can be used to produce an interesting and varied watercolor. I think it should be part of a watercolorist's library.
Wonderful guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I went through dozens of watercolor books at the library and decided to order The Encyclopedia of Watercolor Techniques. It was an excellent and easy to understand guide for me.(a beginner) I brought it to my painting class and I then ordered a total of eight copies for them. They all thought it wa so very helpful. We all would highly recommend this book.
Making Watercolors
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Harrison defines and employs standard language used in identifying watercolor effects. She also identifies watercolor usages and materials and is consistent in this regard. Her illustrative material is literally a survey of the watercolor world, with no histrionics, from abstraction to the tightest realism. It is a beautiful book and gratifyingly complete. She has no 'method' to push. With her insistence on planning as the key to realizing one's concept, she leaves the reader in peace to enjoy the experience the book offers of seeing how accomplished watercolorists plan their work.The index is excellent. I will admit disappointment that Harrison touches only lightly on the qualities of now very expensive materials that would enable one to make useful choices. Her remarks on paper by type and maker I find useful and I wish this knowledgeable woman had given the reader more insights on other materials.
