Master Strokes: Watercolor: A Step-By-Step Guide to Using the Techniques of the Masters

Rating:
Summary: A great book at turning point for watercolorists.
Review: If you are pursuing watercolor painting, have achieved a reasonably good drawing skill, and are ready to take on some significant watercolor projects, this book is right for you. The book consists of three main sections. After a brief coverage of color, papers, and equipment, the book presents tutorials on painting water, landscape, trees, figures, portraiture, and landscapes, after some masters of these subject matters, including Cotman, Constable, Monet, to name a few. These step-by-step tutorials are discussed in detail and easy to follow, along with emphasis on key techniques. Finally, the last section of the book demonstrates important techniques in watercolor to achieve desired effects.

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
