Excellent Watercolor tutor! Charles Evans' is a fun teacher!

This book will help you figure out some of the watercolor barriers you may be experiencing. Why are my roads flat and not creating depth? How can I make the water look real? Mr. Evans has several examples of what to do and what NOT to do. Before and after examples. ☺ If you have the chance to watch his tutorials on YouTube, I highly recommend them. For instance, he uses a credit card to make rocks in his paintings... I followed his advice and then started using a small, demitasse teaspoon for smaller paintings. His use of IKEA pencils is a funny running joke and his video camera lady provides him with witty input.
