Must for every watercolor painting learner

Fantastic book for step by step learning to paint textures. Very details and very nice painting examples.

I really love the author

DO NOT BUY THE ECHO PUBLISHED EDITION!! I really love the author, and his fantastic paintings, but through no fault of the author, Echo Publishing has ruined this book by producing a very inferior edition, due to its poor paper quality; and ALL the illustrations (and there are many) are terribly washed-out, nearly monochromatic, sepia-monotones! I originally read this book from a library copy, published by the original publisher. I loved the book and ordered a copy for myself. I was so disappointed when I received my copy, published by Echo Publishers! Needless to say, I sent it back pronto! SO, make sure you do not order a copy published by Echo, or you will be profoundly disappointed.

Good book, terrible pictures....

Information aside, I have to agree with some of the other reviews that said the painting reproductions and color plates are quite poor. In the modern age there's really no reason why any book needs to have poor photos. It's a head scratcher. I can't imagine the author seeing these and saying, hey yeah these are great! Instead they just went ahead with poor reproductions and off it went. The colors are almost non existent, leaving your eyes almost straining to look at them. I would have to suggest that if you want to see this mans wonderful art, simply Google his name and click on images and there you go. I hope the author realizes what a disappointment the end result was on this publication. His art deserves better.

Buy first edition printing for more vibrant color plates.

Great watercolor tips by one of my favorite artists. Though no fault of the artist/author, make sure you buy the first edition printing by Northlight Books. I am disappointed with the second printing copy I got from a publisher in VT. The color plates are dramatically paler in comparison to the first ed.

l this is a good instructional book

l this is a good instructional book. The problem is is when it was printed the color is so greyed out you really can't tell what the painting really look like. This is too bad. I would advise you buy the hardcover book. I purchase the hard cover of this book and the colors are so much brighter.

Almost returned it

My first thought was to return this book, the images accompanying the exercises are too small to make out much detail and the step-by-step instructions are not exactly that, but after looking at the man's art, I decided it would be a great addition to my library and who knows, someday I might even be able to do the exercises. LOL. As Mr. Hendershot himself points out, you learn a little something from everyone. Even though I doubt I'll attain his level any time soon, I do hold his work up as a goal to strive toward. I find it absolutely amazing. AND! Even though the exercises are a little beyond my pay grade, and I'm pretty low on the artistic totem pole, those of you who are more advanced may find them doable. No matter what your artistic level, if you admire fine art, you will find the book enjoyable. OK, that's my review.
