Watercolor Made Easy: Techniques for Simplifying the Painting Process

I do understand on how the book's description could be somewhat misleading. Not a book for the beginner, it does try nevertheless to simplify the process of painting fruits, leaves, flowers. It assumes you know about basic techniques. This is precisely why I liked the book so much. A book I will keep close-by. In regards to material: Economic 140 lb NOT watercolor paper and relatively inexpensive good synthetic brushes should definitely allow for the techniques to be performed with success. But, as with all things, persistent practice will be required.

This book has good demonstrations for the painting of flowers and vegetables. In it Mrs. Walsh tells a little about her own personal preferences for painting, her studio, etc., making it fun to read. I found this information very useful. There are many examples on how to paint the various types of fruits and vegetables, and a variety of flowers as well. The instruction makes one not afraid to try it! I am a visual learner, and this book met that need.
