In simple, direct language, accompanied by purposeful illustrations,
teacher and master watercolorist Ted Kautzky shows beginners how to
handle the medium. Widely regarded as the author's best work, the book
discusses color pigments, paper, and other supplies; washes, strokes,
and the use of accessories for special effects. Important chapters
follow on the characteristics and techniques of handling limited and
full palettes. Valuable instructions on composition and related subjects
are interwoven throughout the text. In addition to many demonstrations,
there is also challenging practice material.
