  • Great Intro Into Watercolor

    This step by step guild for watercolor technique starts with black and white for the artist to understand basic value theory with many examples and then color and brush techniques. This was a great purchase and quickly delivered.

  • Great Book

    I enjoyed the book. I thought it was well written and nicely illustrated. The author's style was pleasing and one that I would emulate in my own painting.

  • Great reference book. Not easy to find.

    I purchased this book as a gift for my sister, who is a water-colorist. It was recommended by another water-colorist because of Edgar Whitney's composition value patterns. I paint in acrylics rather than water colors and found Whitney's design principles very applicable.

  • Interesting

    Hardly any color illustrations

  • A "Must Have" book for all watercolorist

    The contents of this book should be on every watercolorist bookshelf. It covers composition, color harmony, adding excitment to the painting, etc.
