Finding good books on watercolour,is not as easy as you would think. When I first started in 1980,I had one hell of a job. I would buy book after book,and was no nearer in the end,than I was at the start. This book is a jem,when it comes down to (Watercolour). I am not saying,there are no more to choose from,because there are.and you will find them on Amazon.But back to this one. Arnold Lowrey,has an easy way about his teaching.Having said that.if you can get the DVDs for the books it will take you a step nearer to where you want to be. If you are just starting out,or are in control of what you are doing.This book will hold it's own,against any of them.
