"THE BEST BOOK!" according to Sinclair Browning. I have a lot of watercolor books, probably more than any one person ought to hoard. But this is the best one I've ever seen. Extremely well organized and loaded with colored illustrations, Claudia Nice presents her material in a logical and easy to follow manner. She writes so clearly that the book isn't burdened with unnecessary text, burt rather succinct lines of how she achieved her results. Frequently she includes her palettes. I'm using this as a textbook, copying her demonstrations (today I did animal eyes, for instance). I was taking a local art class and left in the middle of it yesterday when. Belladonna said Claudia Nice is wonderful!. arrived quickly from seller.This is a very interesting book. I have another book by Claudia Nice, and it was more for beginners with details onmany watercolor and ink techniques. This book is for the more advanced artist, I think. So I do like it. But if you are abeginner, I'd suggest you check out her earlier books on ink and drawing in general. I am very impressed with heroutput and the many examples that she includes in her books. She is definitely someone who is highly dedicated andwilling to share her knowledge with other artists. No regrets at all buying this book. good if you did not buy her other book marie i did like this book, or the other one form the same author "Painting with Watercolor, Pen & Ink", each taken separately. However I feel a little cheated as I bought both books, and it turns out 8 out of the 11 chapters that this book contains are the same. what i mean by the same: word per word. so in a sense I paid almost $23 for three chapters
