TWO BOOKS in ONE,

This review is from: The Complete Watercolorist's Essential Notebook: A treasury of watercolor secrets discovered through decades of painting and experimentation (Hardcover)
This is a really nice book. Super colorful, beautifully designed, easy to understand, multiple visual examples on nearly every page. Great for visual learners but also includes plenty of written commentary. It includes really important stuff like quality comparison of different brand paints - by color! All the way to experimental techniques that the author has tried with success. I've helped teach drawing and watercoloring to architecture students and I will definitely refer to this next time I teach.I wrote this review to make note that this book ALSO INCLUDES: The Watercolorist's Essential Notebook - Landscapes by the same author. Half-way through the book you will come across the latter, exactly the same book that is sold separately. It does not say this anywhere on the cover. It only says it in the product description on the Amazon.com product page and on the back cover. So you get TWO BOOKS in ONE. Sweet. Enjoy. Ta. 27 of 27 people found the following review helpful

Fabulous! Inspiring!,

This review is from: The Complete Watercolorist's Essential Notebook: A treasury of watercolor secrets discovered through decades of painting and experimentation (Hardcover)
First I learned about Gordon MacKenzie through his short videos in YouTube. He is a Master! So, I tried to find out more about his watercolor lessons. This book, that is an anniversary edition that combines two previous books he has written before, it is more than I expected to get from a "learning how to" book. It is extremely well organized and clearly explained. It is filled with humor and overall his incredible amount of knowledge about color, art, the novice artist feelings, nature, life! Add to that his experience of years of painting the most beautiful landscapes.

Best book for apprentice watercolorist, incredible value,

This review is from: The Complete Watercolorist's Essential Notebook: A treasury of watercolor secrets discovered through decades of painting and experimentation (Hardcover)
Wow. The minute I scanned through the book, I knew it was good. It is printed on a nice heavy paper (it starts with good paper, doesn't it), and the presentation is gorgeous. All the examples are beautiful and inspiring. I produced the first watercolor I am proud to show by reproducing loosely one of the examples (Summer Choristers page 23).It starts with paint, brushes, other tools, and walks you through the basics. And it goes deeper and deeper, all the way to specific techniques about landscape subjects. Every topic covered, the author is spot on, and the illustrations are plenty and large. Even if you are not a watercolorist, you will get some value out of the composition, light and shadows, colors and other general artistic considerations. Wishing I had found it sooner, and ordering another copy for my mother now. |
