Great book! October 30, 2008
The book is fun to read because of the author's sense of humor but is also very informative. His illustrations are great and I love his paintings, beautiful, with all the qualities I love about watercolors. They inspire me to try to develop my talent further so that some day I could, maybe do as well. (Almost?)

Just what I needed October 21, 2008
I have been interested in painting water in acrylic and watercolor and this book was very helpful. Explains in detail how to paint various types of water, such as calm water, rapids, waves, foam, and best of all, how to "look through water," to make fish and rocks look like they are under the water, rather than on top of the water. It gave me just enough detailed information to accomplish the task, and not so much that I got bogged down. Discussion of growth patterns of different types of trees will also help me make sense of tree forms. The "sketchy" style of the book is refreshing and different from other watercolor how-to books. A great addition to my painting library.

The Watercolorist's Essential Notebook - Landscapes April 27, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This has some great step-by-step lessons for creating different effects in a landscape watercolor. The only criticism I have of it is the drab coloring in many of the examples.
