This book is a reference book for beginners to learn watercolor from scratch. It enables beginners to have a comprehensive understanding of watercolor painting techniques whilst giving experienced readers a chance to improve and gain more apprehension. Overlaying different watercolor pigments, adding different amount of water and different overlaying modes can express different colors and textures. Such a changeful feature is exactly what is watercolor's unique charm. According to the characteristics of watercolor, the first half of the book focuses on basic knowledge and techniques such as the selection of watercolor painting materials, the usage of paintbrush, and the expression of texture which aids the beginners to learn easily. The latter half focuses on case presentation which empowers the readers to digest and flexibly use the basic techniques learnt previously. - from Amzon
