Excellent Value - Great tips- So useful
Humerous and well illustrated, this book showed me how to 'lighten up' in my overfocused endeavours at beginner watercolours. Lots of great tips and useful information essential for a great read and to dip into when you feel like tearing your hair out by the roots.
Essential down to earth tips and suggestions
Absolutely exactly how one feels when embarking upon the watercolour painting path. Humerous and well illustrated this book is very enjoyable to read and refer to again and again. Made me smile a lot. He's been where I am trying to go.
definitely an Essential
I found that not only did Gordon MacKenzie cover what most painters tell you, he goes further in explaining some of the theory in simple terms so you get a better understanding what Watercolour painting is about
