"All about Techniques" is an artist's essential, 7 April 2000
By Marie Antoinette - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: All About Techniques in Watercolor (Hardcover)
I have been looking for an in-depth watercolor reference book for some time and I was not satisfied until I received this book. It is so complete, so perfect, that you'll feel as if you never need another book to draw from. In clear, practical language, combined with vivid illustrations, the book covers all about materials and tools. Then it goes on to cover just about every possible technique and seven basic watercolor subjects. What makes this book so wonderful to me is that it builds its information from beginners level to advanced and it does that so clearly that you have no problem following it or recreating the samples yourself. So apart from being an invaluable reference book, it is also a great confidence builder. Yes, you can paint.

Best teacher I have found, 26 July 2000
By Wanda Thomas - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: All About Techniques in Watercolor (Hardcover)
Not only are the most basic & most complex techniques explained, the step by step instructions on re-creating their sample paintings are the best. If you do every exercise in the book, you will have all the techniques. Then all you have to do is practice, practice, practice....

A student's reference for creating the appearance of . . ., 20 Nov 2001
By Gary Mager - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: All About Techniques in Watercolor (Hardcover)
I'd recommend this book for anyone with beginning through intermediate watercolor skills. It is especially useful for learning how to create special textures and surfaces such as skin, trees, fish, feathers, et cetera. As the name suggests, it covers technique rather than design, layout, color harmony, and the like. Its focus is on how to create the appearance of various surfaces used in nearly every painting. I think of it as a must have on every student's reference shelf.
