Product Description
From Library Journal
Taylor has an exquisite way with watercolors and can describe in detail how he does it. Unfortunately, his prose style is very dry, and he is stuck with a book format that works against him. The layout for the step-by-step demonstrations is cramped, making the reproductions too small to be useful. Paul Riley's Intimate Landscapes: How To Paint Close-Up Views in Watercolors (LJ 11/15/97) covers the same genre in a much more comprehensive and successful manner.

Book Description
From fruits and flowers to gardens and landscapes, nature provides artists with a constant source of inspiration, a cornucopia of colors, and a variety of beautiful forms. Translate these natural wonders into shimmering watercolors with these comprehensive exercises. Finished examples are broken down into constituent shapes, shadings, and techniques, so you'll understand how painters analyze their subjects, and develop artistic skills and compositional acuity. Paint indoor images of flower heads, autumn fruits, and lobsters. Move outside and sketch stone gateways, a glowing red poppy, and a cool blue cluster of sweetpea blossoms. Finally, capture woodlands, gardens, and open sea and sky.

Truly made easy,
This review is from: Natural Watercolours: Painting from Nature Made Easy (Hardcover)
The author demonstrates his loose style, painting wet in wet, with lots of texture. I copied 5 or 6 of the demonstrations illustrated in the book, and was thrilled with my results. The printed instructions are easy to follow and the illustrations show each step clearly, unlike many other how to books that leave you wondering how they got from one stage to another.

As a returning art student this book is excellent. The author gives clear concise information as to the colors used to achieve the desired effect, as well as, wonderful step by step easy to follow guidelines. I have many books but none that have helped me more with color, composition, glazing and the delight of watercolor.This book is a must book for the beginner as well as the intermediate and advanced painter.

This review is from: Natural Watercolours (Paperback)
I kept checking this out of our local library until I finally decided I needed to buy one. The pictures alone are beautiful and I think the instruction for beginning watercolor are simple enough to understand. I really like everything about it and recommend it to anyone who is a beginner or a little more accomplished. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
