Watercolor Made Simple with Claudia Nice is a wonderful book for learning the bare bones of watercolor. It has valuable information on the watercolor wheel. You can keep this book in your library and have an excellent reference in understanding the quality of watercolor. She offers the simple straight forward discussion. Some people may have wished it was printed in a good clean type face as the introduction rather than in typed script. It is a nice script with flourishes. Some I have talked to are distracted by the type. Otherwise a book to buy and maintain in your library in any form available. Watercolor Made Simple with Claudia Nice
Claudia Nice certainly is!

This book was suggested for me since I am a relatively newcomer to watercolor. The person who suggested it has been a painter and teacher for over 70 years(she is 95 and still teaches a small group). She was right its a great book for people such as myself.

Great book, but not simple enough for a total beginner like myself.
A good reference book for all levels

This a very good book. It covers many aspects of painting in watercolor, including some difficult-to-find tips like mixing convincing shadow colors, working with color triads (3 colors) to create mood, and a list of common colors that are transparent, opaque, staining, or granulating. There are troubleshooting tips to help the beginner who wants to achieve certain effects but cannot figure out what went wrong. The book has only 127 pages, but it is fiiled with useful information about techniques like washes, glazing, layering, masking and spatter. There is also some information about the use of unconventional aids like stamping, sponging, alcohol and plastic wrap. Every page is filled with Ms. Nice's realistic yet magical artwork. Where to use transparent or opaque watercolor, and how to test pigments for transparency would have been some welcome additional information. Overall, it is a good book to own, especially for the beginner to intermediate levels.
