Product Description
Painting with watercolors gives you endless opportunities to create the world you want. You choose whether to let the sun blaze or the rain pour, to move a maple tree here or make the trail wind over there, to subdue a hillside with quiet greens or make a forest glow with dazzling golds and reds. It's not only a matter of what to paint, but how to go about painting it.
This book examines, one at a time, the three major elements of landscape painting: water, sky and land. You will be encouraged to try numerous ways of painting each one. Then you can choose the methods that best express how the outdoors speaks to you.
Let this reliable collection of tips, techniques, ideas and lessons be your companion on a sure path to creative fulfillment and better watercolor landscapes.

Great Canadian Watercolour Book,
By
This review is from: The Watercolorist's Essential Notebook - Landscapes (Hardcover)
I bought this book because of the beautiful, inspiring illustrations and I am extremely happy with it. It has great tips and techniques for watercolour painting but also some solid information for composition, perspective and good advice on not taking it too seriously, which can a problem. I have been painting for years, self-taught in watercolours and I love this book. I can't wait to try the new techniques I have learned.

This review is from: The Watercolorist's Essential Notebook - Landscapes (Hardcover)
I have many books on watercolor, but this book is by far the best I've ever purchased. The explanations are clear and precise and there are great exercises to practice what we learn.

This review is from: The Watercolorist's Essential Notebook - Landscapes (Hardcover)
Puisque je possède déjà "The Watercolorist's Essential Notebook" et que je fais beaucoup de peinture en plein air, il va de soi que je devais aussi me procurer celui-ci. Les deux livres sont d'excellents livres pour tous ceux qui font de l'aquarelle. Ils sont remplis d'exemples de techniques différentes qui permettent à l'artiste beaucoup de possibilités, surtout pour le débutant. Toutefois, tout artiste peut apprendre en consultant n'importe quel autre artiste. Ce livre fait donc partie de ma propre bibliothèque parmi bien d'autres livres publiés par bien d'autres artistes.
