Watercolor for the first time

by Kory Fluckiger

It doesn't take years of art lessons to create watercolors you'll be proud of--just let this new entry in the For the First Time series guide you with answers to all your question plus photographs and illustrations that demonstrate every exciting technique. Best of all, as you're learning the different skills, you're also producing finished pieces--lovely seashells, vivid autumn leaves, a single lily. And because watercolors aren't just for framed art, there are also projects for stationery, greeting cards, journal entries, and bookmarks.

This is a very well-written book. It has some really beautiful pictures for inspiration, especially the picture on the cover. However for a novice like me it was a bit of a task following the instructions. I just wish the techniques were explained in greater detail. It was hard for me to recreate the same effect as this pictures in the book, as the instruction/steps were not so clear. For someone who has a experience with watercolors this book will be very useful for inspiration.

Nice artwork with step-by-step instructions for a variety of different scenes. The book was a quick read if just reading through it for information. If practicing each of the art pieces, following the information step-by-step, it will take significantly longer. I tried one of the examples and was surprised how simple it was considering I've never used watercolor before.
