Customer Reviews

Is the title of the book accurate?
Yes, Richard Bolton's book is full of useful tips. Several pages are devoted to basics, what materials to use, then moves on to techniques, perspective and lots more. It's definitely a book for beginners but it covers a lot more; certainly the more advanced watercolour painter would find this book useful.
