Here’s a great book for dedicated amateurs that can also be used and valued by professional artists. The Watercolor Artist’s Handbook has a sturdy hardcover binding, allowing it to be taken out to the field as handily as it is used in the studio. The book's hidden spiral binding keeps pages lying flat, so you can work freely with your watercolor materials without having to fight with your instruction manual. This book supplements textual instruction with more than 400 color illustrations showing paintings in various stages of completion. There is also detailed information on watercolor tools, techniques, mixing colors, creating special effects, and trouble-shooting to correct errors. Examples of works by famous artists in watercolor helps you see how watercolors have been used by world-renowned masters.

This fundamental guide to creating beautiful watercolor paintings includes practical advice and features demonstrations of both traditional and experimental methods. You learn techniques that make the most of the translucent quality of watercolor pigments and discover ways to achieve a variety of effects that include creating convincing cloud formations, foliage, sunlight, and mist.

From the reviews:
“ In a field crowded with art instruction series, Barron’s has released the first three volumes in its new “Artist’s Handbook” series. It is, perhaps, the best of the lot, and these first three volumes can be unequivocally recommended. … The books are surprisingly comprehensive, with clear and lively texts complemented by more than 400 illustrations in each. … There are delightful chapters on the history of each medium … The publisher has wisely chosen to house each book in sturdy hardcovers with hidden spiral bindings that keep pages lying flat. … Published at a very attractive price, this series can be purchased without hesitation.”
— Library Journal, October 2003
