Watercolor Pencil Magic ReviewWhen I first recieved a box of watercolor pencils as a gift, I had no idea what to make of them... I do passing fair work with colored pencils, but watercolors have always been beyond me. I muddled along, experimenting and tossing the miserable results, until I found this book. Oh, the joy! Finally, information on how to get the most out of my creations! How to balance the use of dry and wet, how to work the pencils to their best use, how to work in multimedia (which I do). This is most certainly a bible of sorts for the watercolor pencil artist!Watercolor Pencil Magic Overview

How to Draw and Paint Oil & Acrylic: Clouds & Skyscapes: Explore techniques for creating splendid skies ReviewThis book talks about materials, basic techniques and offers tips too. It helps you set up a colour palette for this dramatic subject. It also talks about different cloud formations and observing clouds in the field. In fact three pages of this 32 page book are dedicated to this. Since understanding your subject is of prime importance, Alan then looks at individual types of skies for you to paint. Each painting is presented as a step by step. I liked Clouds at Sunset best as I found the other paintings rather dark. Twilight in the Wilderness is a close second. This book is perhaps not for the complete beginner but the improver, who understands basic techniques and the use of paint and colour and just wants ideas about what to paint. This review first appeared on Karen Platt's yarns and fabrics blog.How to Draw and Paint Oil & Acrylic: Clouds & Skyscapes: Explore techniques for creating splendid skies Overview

Terry Harrison's Watercolour Mountains, Valleys & Streams ReviewThis is the third Terry Harrison book that I have purchased and I will simply say that every single book has taught me simple yet invaluable techniques that I can use again and again in my landscapes. This book did not disappoint! Although some material was covered in previous books, there are refinements and differences and plenty of new material. The demos are great and the scenery paintings are inspirational yet attainable. A great little book and one that was worth waiting for! I gave it 4 stars simply because I do wish it was a bigger book. But it is very much worth the money, especially if you love to paint landscapes!Terry Harrison's Watercolour Mountains, Valleys & Streams Overview

Painting Snow and Water (Watercolor Basics) ReviewIn this day of abstract and cerebral art it is often difficult to garner the skills needed to paint watercolors of natures' most challenging subject matter:water and snow. Jack Rieds' book is a wonderful introduction to this otherwise daunting subject. Every thing a beginner needs to know about painting snow and several different forms of water is covered in this volume of the Watercolor Basics series; from materials to application. The illustrations are lovely and not unduly difficult; yet capture the fundamentals of the subject matter beautifully. If you want to paint the winter snows, spring thaws and summers at the beach, this is the book for you, particularly beginners.Painting Snow and Water (Watercolor Basics) Overview

Watercolor: Realistic Painting: Learn to paint step by step (How to Draw and Paint) ReviewSince a book is like a child, I gave birth to the title I am defending. The one star review I think was rather unfortunate because the reviewer did not read the description of the book very carefully. The reason I am able to achieve such photo-like realism with my paintings is the airbrush (and stencils). The airbrush enables any artist to apply opaque watercolors (which my work is done in) in beautiful gradations, something nigh impossible with a brush. The description of the book spells this out very clearly. I wish the reviewer had taken the time to read about the contents of the book and even if the techniques are not something they want to pursue, studying the paintings can also be educational. A lifetime of painting experience went into the book and I felt I HAD to come to its defense.Watercolor: Realistic Painting: Learn to paint step by step (How to Draw and Paint) Overview

Painting Greeting Cards in Watercolor ReviewI really enjoy using this book for inspiration and practice. I don't use her ideas for greeting cards, but for small paintings. Most of the paintings can be finished rather quickly. The topics are appealing and I have sold a number of them. I like her 3-in-1 compositions, dividing the paper with masking tape and having related subjects treated differently within each block. It is a practical and user-friendly book, well worth the purchase.Painting Greeting Cards in Watercolor Overview

Fill Your Watercolors with Nature's Light ReviewHaving read "enough" art technique books, I have learned that until one gets "down and dirty" trying out what is discussed in the book, then one does not actually spend the money wisely (on the book).
The same for this book. Beautiful artwork by the author. Did I say beautiful? No, BREATHTAKING, rather. However, to be able to generate beautiful artworks, the readers will need the following:
- An ability to SEE (light, dark, positive and negative space)
- Follow instructions from the book (which is PROBABLY the easy part, since it is rather well-written)
- A decent craftsmanship to finesse the final painting after the "mask and pour paints" phase of the process.
Briefly, I would think this is a power tool for watercolorists. How great the final products turn out to be will depend on the aforementioned factors.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!Fill Your Watercolors with Nature's Light Overview

Acrylics - The Watercolor Alternative ReviewI love this book. If you love the vibrancy of watercolors but not their 'fragility' this book offers a great alternative. I am an intermediate to advanced artist and find that this book is exactly what I was looking for. I especially like the section on riverbed rocks under water. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow and cover a nice range of subjects (landscapes, water, trees, buildings, flowers, etc.) There are plenty of step by step demos to get a feel for the technique. There is also a nice, but not overly long section on materials. His painting style is somewhat realistic, but not too much. After buying lots of books I have FINALLY found just what I was looking for. I took a chance on this one, since there weren't many reviews and I couldn't look inside the book, and I am very happy with it.Acrylics - The Watercolor Alternative Overview

The florals are colorful and there is a lot of information for beginners! From Mastering Basic Techniques, Composing a Pleasing Design, and Setting up a Still Life to Creating a Floral Landscape and Depicting a Botanical Scene,it's all there! And I especially liked the extra painting instructions for the hummingbird and butterfly as excellent additions to any of my flower paintings, and the koi water garden is beautiful! Can't wait to get started!

This is one of the best instructional books that I have ever used to learn new techniques. I own two of Joye's paintings and it is a delight to try and use some of the techniques that she demonstrates in this book and I admire on my wall. The book is very easy to follow and not overwhelming. However, at the same time it provides ample challenge to stimulate your learning. I have read or perused at least 12 watercolor books and I think this is one of the best. Wonderful job!Exploring Textures In Watercolor: A Hands-On Approach Overview

You Can Paint Watercolors ReviewThe author/artist has the gift of taking complex painting subjects (landscapes, animals, people) and expressing their nature in simple strokes of watercolor. The effect is far from simple; it's that stripped-down-to-the-essentials that makes watercolors so appealing yet difficult to learn. One or more strokes of the brush, and you've gone too far and the painting is overworked and wrong. This book will help you over that perenniel problem.
Mr. Cranshaw's book is full of examples on which you can learn, copy and base your own outdoor and studio painting. His sense of fun is never far away. I have other books from this author and I did some really great paintings of cattle immediately and easily after reading and trying his methods. If you want to simplify and improve your watercolor, get some good techniques for plein-air (outdoors) work, I can't recommend this book enough.You Can Paint Watercolors Overview

The Encyclopedia of Watercolor Techniques, 2nd Edition ReviewI was requested by my editors to write the introduction to the Brazilian edition of this book and immediately accepted, because, unlike o most books on art techniques, Hazel Harrison concentrates on demonstrating how to master all the resources and effects that watercolor offers, without implying that there is any preferable way in which to paint. The techniques are clearly explained and well illustrated and, in the second part of the book, she includes many examples of how different artists used the effects described in the first part to interpret various subjects. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to master the art of watercolor.The Encyclopedia of Watercolor Techniques, 2nd Edition Overview

Transparent Watercolor Wheel ReviewWatercolor is notoriously tricky. One moment, colors gleam from the paper like jewels. The next moment, a touch of the brush to a color yields nothing but muddy results. The mixing of the pigments is a true science mixed with art because the colors are actually chemicals that interact not only by reflecting light on their own, but also by interacting with other pigments, and reacting with the paper as well.
What to do when you want a particular color effect? Well, you can refer to this book. It has a color wheel organizing the pigments according to how they mix with each other to form secondary tints. Kosvanec gives examples of mixing greys, browns, intermediate tints that are guaranteed NOT to result in a blob of disaster on your painting. He gives quotes from famous artists who reaffirm the problem; one dab of just the wrong color and disaster results. He also includes some fabulous paintings, not only his portraits of native Americans, but those of other well-known artists.
I can't wait to try out Kosvanec's mixtures and suggestions on my next painting. I know I will be referring to this book over and over again.Transparent Watercolor Wheel Overview
