Customer Reviews

Good addition to watercolor library.

As the reviews of this book were quite glowing, and I had need to fill in information needed to do believable snow scenes, I decided to purchase this book. It was quite helpful in the areas presented, and the author is very detailed with information.

An Excellent Book on How to Paint Water and Snow.

I would recommend this book to anyone wishing to improve their technique on painting water and snow. If you have a library on painting with watercolors, and this book isn't among them, I think you would find it to be a very helpful addition.

Great Help for Beginners

This book has been a great help. I live in BC and have wanted to try to capture the ocean and landscape with watercolours and with Mr. Reid's help I'm one step closer. The book presents clear and simple pictures with limited colours to get started very easily.

A difficult subject made approacable

In 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.
