Water Paper Paint: Exploring Creativity with Watercolor and Mixed
Media. Quarry: Quayside. 2011. 156p. illus. ISBN 9781592536559. pap.
$22.99. ART INSTRUCTION
Studio artist Smith Jones presents a new kind of art how-to book, in
which she tackles many of the intangibles of the creative process but
from a practical point of view. She is not constrained by any one
medium, and she encourages readers to stretch beyond their boundaries.
Various drawing, watercolor, and collage materials, as well as
different methods, subject matters, and ways to display completed
work, are discussed. This book will appeal to artists who want to
rekindle their creative spirit, and it could inspire hobbyists and
scrapbookers to take a next step. - Library Journal, February 2011

This book is really great for people interested in watercolours but not sure where to begin. It offers a lot of helpful advice and interesting projects to get you started. I looked at a couple watercolour books, this was by far my favourite.

I majored in painting (acrylic and oil) in university but wanted to explore watercolour as a medium. This book is fun, light and wonderful as an intro to watercolour. It has you doing projects right away which is satisfying. Great book!

This book was purchased for my 13 year old granddaughter's birthday. She loves creating paintings as do I and because I live a far distance from her, this enabled her to understand some of the concepts she needs to go further with her drawings, paintings etc.
