The Watercolor Bible

This handy guide is a must-have addition to every artist's toolkit. Small enough to take anywhere,

Master practitioner Garcia offers a wealth or practical, hands-on techniques and other references in a format that will stay put when you need it. He includes common sense advice on materials and supplies and ways to collect and record ideas as well as a guide to composition and a review of drawing techniques, means of working with properties of the paint, ways of using color and creating special effects (so that is how to make the trees look misty!) and also provides step-by-step instruction on rendering subjects in skin, fur, and feathers, plant materials, landscapes, flowers, skies, water, and even man-made objects such as wood and window glass.
