This book is a bunch of terrific watercolor and ink illustrations. Trying to read this as a book was a mistake. It's more of a reference book to come back to when perplexed how to illustrate rust, waves, flora, fauna, etc. I feel the actual instruction in this is a bit lacking but that is because it takes practice to learn these techniques and incorporate them into your work, not smaller steps.
