Creative Discoveries in Watermedia

I ordered this book without seeing it. The customer reviews that summarize Dews' freedom and enjoyment of painting are true. She writes wonderfully and explains perfectly. When I received the book, I read all of it. She has more fun and coaxes her readers to jump up and run to the paint and, on the way, grab anything that doesn't move to add to the experience. A real fresh look at enjoying art.

We are so lucky that a talented artist like Pat Dews reveals her painting techniques to everyone. A beautifully put together book with great action photos and easy to follow directions. I especially love the painting for keemakoo. Highly recommend!!

Pat Dewsbook"Creative Discoveries in Watermedia" is the most informative and comprehensive book in my art library.Her "how to"examples are well defined which is a tremendous help to those who are new to the abstract genre and to many who need inspiration.

When I saw the cover I knew this would be a book I would love. This is a inspiring book, not a "copy me" book.

If you are a watercolor painter, or would like to be one, this is the book for you. The author is a consummate creative professional with impeccable credentials. Her enthusiasm and creativity come through on every page. The book is beautifully organized and loaded with literally dozens of examples of the author's and others' paintings, used to illustrate every point the author makes. The author takes you through the labyrinth of the creative process, then through the mechanics of turning the blank canvas into the finished painting. Besides all that-- the book is a beautifully done creative work of art in itself.
