I bought the book yesterday and I am delighted with it. It offers sound advice on techniques, unlike many other books that only give you demos on how people painted a certain picture. I specially liked the fact it helps you discover your own style, and I loved the "comparison demos" (the same subject is painted by different artists and the author writes in great detail how come their renderings are so different). The advice in this book is really clear and the exercises do take you step-by-step.

This book is an exceptional resource for the watercolorist. I highly recommend this book for both beginner and advanced artists. Terms are explained in plain English. Many watercolor techniques are reviewed and numerous artist's works are described in detail. Hazel Harrison has also written Acrylic School and Pastel School for Readers Digest, and they are all excellent reference sources. I recommend them to all my students.

This book has good basics for the beginning watercolor painter. It discusses selection of brushes, paper, color mixing and other beginning basics. It covers landscape, still life, figures, and portraits. A plus to me was the fact that this book has no nude art. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning the art of watercolor.
