Easy Watercolor REALLY IS Easy, 20 Dec 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Easy Watercolor: Learn to Express Yourself (Hardcover)
This book offers a refreshing look at watercolor painting regardless of the reader's skill level. Detailed instructions are written and illustrated in a most comprehensible manner. The illustrations are step-by-step providing the artist with the insight of the author's years' in watercolor! It is the most all-inclusive, easy to follow art instruction book that I have ever encountered. I recommend it for beginners, intermediate and advanced watercolor artists. IF YOU HAVE A DESIRE TO EMBRACE WATERCOLOR PAINTING, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU.

Designing a painting, and a painter, 29 Nov 2002
By "whitneythompson2" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Easy Watercolor: Learn to Express Yourself (Hardcover)
Easy Watercolor, by Marcia Moses, is designed to provide a beginner with all the necessary information and techniques to achieve a high level of skill in watercolor painting. The training process is systematic and precisely detailed. It begins with the selection of tools and materials. It shows how they are used. It demonstrates the principles of design, composition and color. It illustrates and discusses these principles in reproductions of works of 10 other artists, in addition to her own.
She teaches her students the skills to produce paintings which can stir a coherent response in the viewer. The response is to the totality of the painting, not just to the sum of its parts. In short, it is an aesthetic response.
The author's tone of instruction is personal, almost in the style of speech, doubtless a result of her years of teaching. It is technical and precise where appropriate, but also guiding, encouraging, and occasionally humorous. The effect goes beyond teaching an aesthetic perception and technique. It shapes an aesthetic way of thinking in the increasingly engaged student.
Easy Watercolor is also a beautiful book in its own right.

Inspiring, 17 Dec 2002
By Mary Nieto - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Easy Watercolor: Learn to Express Yourself (Hardcover)
I have thoroughly enjoyed this book. Not only does it inspire, but it excites the reader in an easy to understand format.I studied art on the university level and truly learned more from Marcia Moses than I did in two years of art instruction. She establishes a rapport with the reader, which makes them feel like even as a beginner that they too can create, paint like a professional. Her explanations of technique and theory, make it easy to comprehend and entices the reader to "go get started". It not only is comprehensive, but invites the reader to explore their creativity on every level. I highly recommend this book to existing and future artists as well. A definite must have for your collection! It was a pleasure to experience!
