An award-winning artist discusses the finer points of light and texture in watercolor painting, covering the differences between natural and artificial light, basic color theory, pigment, composition, and much more, using step-by-step instructions to deliver many of his lessons.
This is an instructional book using only examples that the author painted himself. I like how this was done because it explains the techniques he uses and how they give exact results that you can see. Additionally, he shows different stages of his paintings toward the second half of the book so you can see what is underneath the finished product. The first half of the book goes over painting and visual basics. Certainly worth reading if one is interested in learning watercolor.
