Watercolor: A New Beginning: A Holistic Approach to Painting

Rating:
Summary: Lite painting.
Review: This book was a little too touchy-feely for me. It is a very basic book almost as if it was written for children. I will say that the illustrations are beautiful and very fanciful, but there aren't enough examples of actual paintings and too many examples of student's doodles.

Summary: Explore watercolor painting free of intimidation!
Review: To anyone with great interest in trying watercolor painting, this is the book I would recommend. No drawing skills needed. It's not about whether or not you believe yourself to have the talent. If you have the desire, dive in and enjoy the journey. I have been painting for more than 10 years and I love this book. I am preparing to teach a watercolor class for beginners, and this is the book I've chosen to guide me. Lindsay expresses a lot of great points that help the reader to drop all that inhibits from the real joy of painting...learning. Even the great painters we ooh and aah at never stop learning as long as they are still alive and painting.
