Painting in Watercolor: The Indispensable Guide

Great book for beginners, nice tips, very good quality pictures, easy to understand, if you have a moderate/pro level watercolor perhaps it's not for you

I put off buying this book for a very long time, and now I'm sorry I didn't do it sooner. Beautiful book, filled with gorgeous illustrations and very useful information.

Book was in Awesome shape! Delivery quick! Love the book!! Full of detail!

I decided to purchase this book based on a friend’s recommendation. I am glad I did. It has a lot of tips and techniques that I found useful for my watercolor painting. But most of the first few chapters cover the same things that almost every watercolor book has. That is why I gave this book 4 stars. I have been painting for over 30 years and I guess I was looking for more advanced techniques that I did not know about. I really need new information and insights.

Gift book, came in great condition.

Great book! Good and thorough instruction.

There are so many books available on the subject of watercolor painting that one can get bewildered as to which one is "best" for you. Simply put, no one book is the "best" because of the complexity of the subject. Watercolor is a wonderful and yet sometimes awfully difficult medium. Therefor the painter needs all the help he or she can get on the demonstration of the basics. One needs a book on this subject to be clear and unambiguous, particularly for the beginner or the painter who has dabbled in watercolor but wants to go to the next step. In that capacity this book is excellent! I often add a watercolor book to my collection purely because of the painting examples that are included. The text may be boring, poorly written or even useless but the watercolor illustrations can make it worthwhile having. The examples in this book by both the author and other artists achieve that. The demonstration illustrations are clear and the selection of other artist's works are varied enough to show the reader a great variety of approaches to watercolor painting.

I can't remember the last time I wrote a product review (I know, free-rider problem), but I was so impressed with this book, I felt I needed to write something. I have bought almost 15 of the best, most-rated watercolor books on technique just to see which one would best suit me. This one by far is the best. It has high-quality glossy pages, beautiful cover, rich and vibrant illustrations, easy-to-follow step-by-step guide, and so much more. The layout and template of each page is so, so neat; it's almost like a magazine. If a single page of this book gets bent, I will be so sad. That's how much I treasure this book. AMAZING!

One of the best books on watercolour. Clear instructions and good range of techniques.

not a great book

En definitiva una de mis libros preferidos de acuarela. Me encantó la manera en que está estructurado y como va desarrollando las técnicas. Muy recomendado.

In Painting in Watercolor, author David Webb covers every aspect of watercolor painting from tools and materials to a variety of approaches to the medium. Throughout the book there are step-by-step demonstrations of techniques such as lifting out, backruns and spattering. One of the best things about this book, however, is the fact that it is filled from cover to cover with hundreds of examples of work from well known artists from around the world.

Sehr gut und so viel besser als die meisten anderen Bücher zum Thema! Zugegeben, es ist nicht das kleinschrittigste Lehrbuch, aber dafür ist es gefüllt mit Wissen und tollen Beispielen.
