With a clear and methodical build-up of terms, tools, and techniques pertinent to the watercolor artist with numerous examples, this book is indeed an “essential” one, especially for artists looking to begin exploring watercolor. More than a cut-and-dried “how to” book, however, the author/artist/creator also explains some of the nuances of making art in this very flexible medium, and provides insight into the philosophical underpinnings needed to create truly expressive and fulfilling art. The second half of the book explores the application of principles from the first half as they pertain to landscapes.
