Highly reccomended

I highly recommend this book for learning to use watercolor pencils effectively. The book gives clear, easy-to-follow instructions. As a rubber stamper, I found many of these techniques a very useful addition to my artwork. The book starts out by explaining how watercolor pencils are different from traditional watercolor. Materials needed are covered next. Then, making various textures & mixing colors to make them work together are explained.Many types of subject matter are covered including vegetables, flowers, landscapes, animals, china, and glass. The emphasis is on a demonstrating a wide range of techniques in a step-by-step manner rather than actual projects.There is also information on using watercolor crayons & combining watercolor pencils with traditional watercolors. Working on colored paper is discussed as well. This small book provides a wealth of valuable information.
