Wonderful book for the beginner,
By Spinning Top - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Watercolor for the Absolute Beginner (Paperback)
I am an absolute beginner and knew nothing before I picked up this book, but found it easy to follow and a lot of fun. I spent as little as possible because it all adds up fast. Among the recommended supplies, I bought 2 round brushes, a bamboo brush, and a 3-inch hake, and got by fine without the others. There are 11 recommended paints for the projects. He describes the different paint grades (professional vs. student), and while professional are typically preferred, they are also more expensive. I was pleased with the results I achieved with the cheaper student grade paints and encouraged by the thought that they might be even better if I invest in better paints. All in all, I would highly recommend this book. You can start it without knowing a thing, and finish it excited about what you've achieved and the possibilities that lie ahead.

neophyte finds watercolor fun and easy to learn with this book,
By C. Gacharna - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Watercolor for the Absolute Beginner (Paperback)
Sometimes art books look like fun so I pick them up and then I never actually sit down to do the work. I found this one at my local library and decided it would be a good experiment for myself to see if it taught me anything and got me excited about using what I learn. If it did, I bargained with myself, I could always pick it up from Amazon; but best to make sure it's worth getting before I buy.I have been reading it diligently, as if I'm taking a class. I'm just at the middle where he gives the step-by-step instructions on how to begin actually painting. I've had to renew the book twice because I'm enjoying it so much. I have never worked with watercolor before, so I came to this a neophyte and even before I finish my first attempt, I am considerably more knowledgeable about what's involved in creating a watercolor. His writing style spoke easily to a reader. The book came with a CD in the back where the author gave a video demonstration on the difference between wet and dry paining. Although the material is important, the video itself is pretty amateur. If the viewer can tough it out through the dry video lecture, it's worth seeing the difference between wet and dry. Don't buy the book just to get the CD, but buy the book if you are a beginner and want to sit down and not only learn, but be able to use what you've learned to create a watercolor painting. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful
