It's not only a matter of what to paint, but how to go about painting it.This book examines, one at a time, the three major elements of landscape painting: water, sky and land. You will be encouraged to try numerous ways of painting each one. Then you can choose the methods that best express how the outdoors speaks to you.Let this reliable collection of tips, techniques, ideas and lessons be your companion on a sure path to creative fulfillment and better watercolor landscapes., This attractive, inspirational guide is full of sound techniques, advice and hands-on instruction for anyone looking to explore the magic of watercolor.

Excellent Value
Excellent book...I recommend it for any watercolor artists, especially beginners. The first 30 pages alone can save you a ton of money and headache. All sorts of useful information about; color and pigment, brushes, paper, etc. I wish I had this book at the beginning of my watercolor journey, all the subjects are broke down into very easily understood wording, very easy to read. At the whopping price of 5.20 shipped for a very nice used copy this is a steal.
