This volume has something for everyone, from the greenest novice to the more experienced painter. It's filled with step-by-step demonstrations, many based on working from photographs and sketches, many others focusing on painting on location and from live models. And, there are plenty of inspiring finished paintings by favorite Watson-Guptill artists. All in all, for breadth and variety in both teaching and painting styles, this book is the best value in watercolor instruction available today. This is a treasure trove of information about the tools and materials of watercolor, color mixing and color theory, and about watercolor painting techniques. From master teachers you will learn the most effective ways to lay a simple wash, work wet-in-wet, and create luminous glazes. Also included is in-depth coverage of textures, dry brush, spattering, and masking. Paperback, 400 pages. Watson-Guptill. ISBN 082305649X
