5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book which is a must for all artists, 24 Aug 1998
By A Customer
This beautiful book will expand the horizons for artists of all mediums, abilities and experience. It uses the basic concepts of Eastern philosophies in conjunction with western techniques. Moreover, it is inspirational, and will be found so even by non-artists. This is an undiscovered treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relaxed at last., 22 Feb 2000
By Mrs. Jennifer West "Jennybobs" (Wigan.UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Everyone who has made any attempt at painting with watercolour knows that it can be the most unforgiving medium.Months and years can be spent learning to "control" it.At last ,here is a painter who celebrates some of its difficult quirks , along with its many joyous features ,and who helped the tense nervous painter that I can sometimes be, let go a little,and enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderfully inspirational, 25 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This book outlines more of an approach to painting, not just techniques. It opened up an entirely new world, allowing me to explore the medium. I'd recommend it for the serious artist as well as the beginner. Trust me, it's a beautiful book that will inspire you to do things with watercolours you never thought possible.

1.0 out of 5 stars a complete waste of money
It beggars belief how this book appeared in the 'Watercolour' section on Amazon. It would be better placed alongside the vast range of New Age/Alternative books. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
This book must qualify as one of the worst ever published. 112 pages, of which most are filled up with photographs of the artist's work. Read more
