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.

Product Description
Strating out with simple studies of leaves, fruit and flowers, the author looks at the materials and basic techniques needed for natural watercolour painting, and suggests some simple exercises for creating realistic form and effective composition. He moves on to demonstrate how to paint a wide range of natural subjects by cleverly breaking them down into their substructures, then illustrating the gradual development of the image so you both understand and see exactly how the finished watercolour has been built up. With fully annotated sketches, working illustrations and step-by-step demonstrations he explores all kinds of indoor and outdoor subjects. Detailed information on special techniques and suitable palettes is also provided throughout.

This review is from: Natural Watercolours: Painting from Nature Made Easy (Hardcover)
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.

Natural Watercolors,
By Pittypatch - Published on Amazon.com
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.
