Excellent technique book,

This review is from: Vibrant Watercolours (Paperback)
I live in the Middle East and good instructional art books are hard to come by. A fellow student bought this book while visiting in the states and brought it to class. Well, of course; all the students loved it. We found it so easy to follow and have attempted several of her projects. Which have turned out wonderful. We say here in Jordan, "Shur-kran", meaning thank you, Hazel Soan! You have helped a whole class of, eager for knowledge, students! I recommend it to everyone who wants to start in the watercolor medium. Now I am purchasing my own copy.

Major disappointment,
By M. Du Toit "Moggie" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Learn to Paint Vibrant Watercolours (Paperback)
I must admit I bought this book because of the cover....it has a waterfall on the front and it says 'Learn to paint' so I immediately assumed that it would have a demonstration inside on how to paint that waterfall...short story ..it does not.If I bought this book as a 'Learn to paint' and expected it to show me how to paint or improve my painting I would be major disappointed... |
