Watercolor for the First Time: A Beginner's Guide

Painter and art teacher Horowitz presents a series of exercises for novice watercolor painters. Early chapters cover watercolor materials basic techniques and other fundamentals while subsequent units are devoted to particular subjects (water flowers winter landscape etc.). Each exercise begins with reference photos followed by composition and color tips for completing the painting.
