Product Description

Review

Terry Harrison is a popular teacher and demonstrator and I don t think it s unfair to him to say that he has a polished act that comes across well. I don t mean that there is anything false; simply that demonstrating is a form of theatre and, if the performance (for want of a better word) is lacklustre, the audience s chances of learning anything are diminished. What you want is a speaker who can make important point clearly and simply, doesn t mumble and over-speak and, at the end, produces a painting that looks worth all the effort. To achieve this requires two main aspects. The first is a painting that the artist can reproduce pretty much with their eyes shut, as painting and talking at the same time is not easy. The second is a clear script which enunciates the important points clearly and concisely so that you really can follow, understand and, above all, remember, that little trick they have with the sky. So, to cut to the chase, the one thing a good demonstrator has is a block of tips that they can pepper throughout a demonstration, and I m sure everyone there just wishes they d write them down in a book. The fact that a lot of them don t is that they want you to have them back for more pearls of their wisdom. Write a book and haven t you just given everything away at once? Well, yes, so there has to be something more and my guess is that this little tome will probably get Terry more bookings than he d have had without it. It should also be said that he s a generous teacher, which is one of the reasons he s so popular. What you get here for less than a tenner is 140 tips (it says so on the cover) covering everything from techniques such as mixing colour, washes and wet-in-wet to subjects like flowers, boats and skies. There are plenty of step-by-step demonstrations and the book is spiral bound so that it lies flat and you can keep it open while both your hands are occupied with painting (or even cooking, cleaning or worming the whippet, if that s what takes your fancy). It s fair to say that this is not a book for the advanced painter, but it has much to say both to the raw beginner and the intermediate painter who may be starting to struggle with certain aspects of their technique. Terry is a great simplifier and this is a perfect way of cutting through any mystique that may have building up and stopping you seeing the wood (literally) for the trees. --artbookreview.net

In this ring-bound book is a mine of useful information to help you paint successfully with watercolour paints. All beautifully illustrated and with simple concise descriptions on how to achieve the various painting effects. Terry has included just the right amount of information so you can quickly find what you need along with handy expert hints and tips. --Cake Craft & Decoration, Nov 08

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book On Tips, 28 Jul 2008
By Andrea Mars (Leicestershire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is advertised as a paperback, however when mine came it was a hardback in a ring binder. As a ringbinder it means that you can open the booka nd leave it open at the page you are looking at. There are lots of tips from using washes to how to paint a window. The tips are brief and don't go into lots of detail so if you want a lesson, this book is not for you. However, if you have some of the basics already then this book will help you if you are a little stuck. It is a handy size and can quite easily be store in a handbag/small bag - great if you are carrying it around to a class or painting out of doors.

I must admit I am a little biased as I love Terry Harrison's work, just the sort of things I like to paint. Give this a go, if you want some quick handy advice, it is not expensive and worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for a present , 12 Dec 2008
By Mrs. Ei Griffiths "Elizabeth G" (Bristol England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Best water colour aide in my collection. I refer to it as my water colour 'Bible'. Well set out, easily left open in front of your work, full of ideas and tips and, at this time of year, ideal for friends. I am recommending it at the Splash Art classes I attend.
