Product Description
Make your first steps in watercolor fun and rewarding!
Exercises help you loosen up and learn the ins and outs of putting paint on paper. Easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions show you how to paint water, believable skies, a variety of trees in different seasons and other popular elements. Plus, a dozen demonstrations show you how paintings come together, from initial sketch to final brushstrokes.
Watercolor's vivid colors and fresh, direct brush strokes make it the most exciting way to paint. "But," you think, "Learning to paint must be hard and frustrating." Not with Cathy Johnson as your teacher! Here, she makes learning to paint in watercolor fun. Even easy!
With Painting Watercolors, you'll learn to paint by picking up a brush and painting - not by reading about a bunch of confusing theories.
Cathy tells you everything you need to begin - including:
Which tools and materials you should buy to get off to a good, affordable start
When, what, even where to paint
Explanations of watercolor terms (such as "washes" and "puddles")
Easy and useful painting tricks - such as glazing and drybrush.

What I was looking for,
By edward filek (culver city, ca USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: First Steps Painting Watercolors (Paperback)
I do not have an extensive art background. Without becoming arcane, the author gives sufficient knowledge and support TO GET YOU GOING. This is the right book for someone who wants to try watercolor but lacks the art background and/or the creative support one would get from an instructor.

Great book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: First Steps Painting Watercolors (Paperback)
A great book for the person who wants to try a new medium, or begin painting for the first time. Cathy Johnson's step by step instructional demos and great sense of humor make you want to get in there and just do it. The instructions are VERY clear and easy to understand--she never assumes you know what any given painting term means.
