This book completely changed how I was painting and the colours I used. I've always known there were nuances to watercolour paints that don't apply to other mediums and these directly affect how a painting will look depending on how you mix colours, the pigments you use, the order you mix in, etc. I am very happy with my purchase of this book and I haven't even finished reading it yet!

Format:Paperback
Hands-down, this is the BEST watercolor book published today! If you are starting-out it's invaluable and if you thought you knew everything there is to know, you'll be amazed at all the tips and mixing solutions in this book! Dobie's paintings are not complicated, but her final effects are stunning! Buy it for an artist friend or yourself. You won't regret having this as a solid reference to watercolor painting!

I love this book but it is identical (except for the cover) to the original version which I already own. I gave it to a friend who is just starting in watercolor. Jeanne Dobie's art is at the top of what you can do with this medium and it will inspire anyone who is really interested in learning to use watercolor.

This book addresses transparent water colors better than any I have seen. I am a Beginner-Intermediate and have been looking for the differences between transparent and semi and this helps alot.
It has improved my washes and layering enormously.
