This is a different approach to watercolour painting - one media that many find very difficult. Subtitled 'Exploring Creativity with Watercolor and Mixed Media' this book is full of expressive creativity. Heather's aim is to show the breadth of this medium. She encourages you to adapt and explore. Although the book is probably more geared to beginners, I do feel there is something here for people who are stuck with the basics but don't know how to progress from there. I think there is a wonderful freedom in her work and ideas, which I admire very much. I think this is an excellent book to make you think more about your watercolor as a medium and to discover what it can do. I also think this is a great book for using with children to develop their creativity. This review first appeared on Karen Platt's book review website.

a fabulous book, well made and i love the feel of the pages. the work is well photographed, and the writing style is easy to understand, without being too simple. full of inspiration, even for more advanced watercolourists, but i do feel this book is more for newcomers just coming to watercolours, or just a little stuck with ideas with what to do with them. i'm glad i bought this book, even though i feel i 'know my way around' the watercolour medium, and would recommend it for beginners, slightly more advanced users, and people in need of a little inspiration

This book has inspiring tips and is informative though alittle on the thin side. The layout is good and plenty of materials referenced are easy to get. my copy arrived fast and in great condition. If your looking for something that explains some simple yet effective watercolour affects this is your book .
