Zoltan Szabo's Color-by-Color guide to watercolour
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I purchased this book using my 'MY-US.com for the first time. The book arrived in England from USA in about three days which was excellent BUT when my credit card invoice came in I had been charged $59 for the weight of the product although 'free shipping' had been advertised. my total bill was £41. Obviously I will be wary of ordering from a US source again.
Great as in showing 'how Szabo does it.'

This book cannot replace the Michael Wilcox's Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green in terms of basic completeness, clarity, and universal applicability. It's more of an idiosyncratic look at how one artist makes use of his paint choices. You will come away seeing how Szabo does it, but its applicability in a *general" way is severely limited. That being said, the book is a great instruction book. Every painting (one every 2 pages) has step by step instruction and the ideas he has for using only 5 pigments max per painting are excellent.
Very Informative About Pigments & Colors

I have the hard cover edition. This is an excellent color book for learning and reviewing watercolor pigments & paints. This book illistrates how to use these pigments and paints in various watercolor works of art. The properties of each color are thoroughly explained with printed samples of the color and the complementary color shown. Also the other colors that work well with each pigment are shown, along with a sample of a successful work of art containing these colors. I'm very glad to add this to my library of watercolor books.
It is a book you return to again and again!

In learning the characteristics of watercolor, this is a book I return to again and again. The author has classified each basic color as to its' transparency, its' complement, and executes a painting with that palette, and much more!
