The Complete Guide to Watercolor Reviews

  • Kristin

    Mostly helpful information for beginners, but features a lot of interesting techniques. A lot of more general information for artwork in general. I did not like the way some of the information was conveyed as the only right thing.

  • Teri-K

    Beautiful, of course. DK books have great illustrations. I enjoyed the variety of watercolor paintings it shows. Plus there's some useful info and some ideas for beginners to try; just don't consider it a beginners course. It's more inspirational than instructional.

  • Scott

    Great reference book on the intricacies of using watercolor.

  • Wendy Blacke

    It was alright. I didn't feel like I learned anything after reading it. Most of it seemed like common sense, or was something I already knew. Certainly not a 'complete' guide, but there's some good information in there nonetheless.

  • Dee Renee Chesnut

    There are so many projects with materials lists and instructions I'm keeping this book for reference.
