Basic Watercolor Techniques

Very good instruction for technique, explanation of how various colors work, and paper qualities. I am taking a class at the local college and the book goes along with what I have learned in class. Very informative.

Assumes prior knowledge

The book is comprehensive indeed, but as a BASIC course, the book seems to assume some level of previous art experience. I had questions about brush care and other small details which were not covered.

Easy-to-read

This book is very beginnerish, but is good as a reference for the more experienced artist. It covers a little bit of everything for you and is inspiring. I am glad I own this book. In fact, the spine on it is almost worn out from using it so much.

practical and informative

Inclused useful information about basic materials and techniques. Excellent chapter on mixing colors. Good information about design, value, and saving whites. Chapters on landscapes, plants and flowers, water , the figure and portraits.
