Drawing Towards Watercolour is the pain-free way to improve your watercolour paintings
"condensed drawing lessons + well, watercoloring" according to Bill R. I intend to watercolor,eventually. but my drawing needs a lot of work, so I figured this book would help. And it does, it's a great book on drawing and sketching, succinct, and right to the key stuff. I've seen some of it in other such books but he really condenses it all without a bunch of rhetoric & fluff. And I haven't even looked at the watercolor parts much. But I suspect similar directions.. "The cover tells it like it is." according to Cherlin. I am self taught watercolorist. I have quite a collection of books and i was pleasantly surprised to find this fresh and interesting book. it isn't like all the others and has a nice section on drawing for watercoloring. I taught myself to draw out and plan the painting first. this book walks you threw the paces and shows you exactly what you need to know to accomplish it. great book. Good basic source book Has some great tips on using watercolor for nature paintings. Not a bad review for artists, but a great book for beginners to the watercolor medium. Keep in mind though, that books will never replace a good teacher or give you feedback, so for this reason, though I give it a give star, I would say that it is best to use it in tandem with at least a beginner class in the medium to gain it's full benefit.
