Great book for watercolor artists
Motivational and inspiring for beginners
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I am a beginning watercolorist, and I found the book a pleasure to peruse. I especially liked how so many different artists' approaches are shown and briefly explained, and the bonus watercolor paper postcards in the back are elegant. I am finding it fun to try such varied styles to see which ones appeal to me, and learning a lot along the way. I enjoy having this book to refer to and for motivation and inspiration. While there is a helpful section regarding basic supplies, I do not believe this book was intended as a "complete beginning watercolorist how-to" book. (I have enjoyed stacks of "beginning watercolorist" books from - ahem - my local library! In fact, borrowing this book from my local library is what prompted me to want to add this one to my personal library.) Hope this helps.

This books is simply magically. I purchased it in hopes of improving my understanding of painting flowers, in order to really bring my fantasy artwork to life. It was all that I hoped for and more, showcasing the beautiful work of some of the most renowned watercolor flower artists. Each artist has a section that displays a sampling of their work, along with excerpts from their sketchbooks. These sketchbooks are accompanied by lovely notes regarding the artist's process and thoughts during creation. There is also a short section containing each artist's favorite paint colors, etc. A truly enjoy book for the artist, whether beginner or advanced as well as for the lover of flowers and art. Also comes with a few postcards in the back for you to paint on. A delight!
