Book Reviews of Watercolor for the Serious Beginner: Basic Lessons in Becoming a Good Painter
Book Review: i don't believe the reviews
Summary: 2 Stars
firstly I would like to know the great reviews this book got were written by actual users or just few fellow artists who were friends with the author & obliged her.
This book talks abt. everything yet when you finish it you are not a dime wiser. The section on design prinicipals in particular is either lifted from some other book or written by someone else. The contrast in the language is too evident .Besides this it's non effective , you don''t get an applicative understanding . Read stuff on internet that this.
Plus the paintings(done by the author) have a cheapy glaze look to it.
I am a beginner I found book by Patricia Seligman a much better book..teaching you in a practical way .
People please write true reviews and it should represent your opinion and not for obliging friends.
