Breaking Rules of Watercolor

This is one of the few books on watercolor technique that takes the reader along for a ride within the artist's mind as he paints. We share Silverman's thoughts, even his anguish at times, as he develops a painting. His technique, coupled with his honesty, takes a lot of the fear out of painting with this medium. So many instructional books make us awed with the author's paintings, but leave us with the sense that we could never hope to achieve such perfection. This book is different. We understand what the artist is going through as he paints, and he tells us not only how he makes changes, but why. This is a wonderful watercolor book that I would recommend to anyone seriously interested in watercolor.

i was struggling with the medium of watercolor for the longest time, and had little or no direction on how to improve my technique. then one day my art teacher suggested i peruse this book, and wow, my perceptions of watercolor changed instantly. this is the best book on watercolor available. if you are interested at all in the full potential of the medium, you must take a look at this book- you will forever be changed.
