This is an excellent book for watercolor artists. The local art group members were greatly impressed when they saw my copy. It is particularly valuable to botanical artists

The cover is beautiful, but just so you know, though I buy a LOT of art books, I won't buy one if I can't search inside.

I was very disappointed with this book, I thought it would be more than it actually is. It does show some experimental techniques but I have seen them before. I thought I would buy a copy for one of my art students but now I will not.
