30 Minute Artist: Painting Water in Watercolour Paperback – May 1, 2013

Really enjoyed each example. Very good step by step progress is shown during the process. I definitely picked up some good techniques here.

I’ve learned so much from this book! It was a great find. I would recommend this book. I love the explanations on the steps.

Easy to follow instructions and what to use, however, it would help to have more detailed info about the brushes cue uses

Pleasantly surprised by tips on painting water. Really helpful.

Very informative. Great ideas. Portable. Easy to carry around in my art bag.

By working through each lesson, you learn to be confident in your own ability. I am glad I took a chance.

I liked the contents but the print font is so small that it renders the book difficult to use.

Painting Water in Watercolour by Terry Harrison recently arrived. I was surprised at how small the book is and with its binding it is hard to keep open to the selected page. I think the contents reflect the title of 30 Minute Artist and I plan to use it to improve speed in sketching moving water. I have not had a chance to use it yet, but it seems detailed enough for a beginning watercolorist, like myself. I like that he has a good photo of each finished project for beginners to copy and learn from. There are several projects of waves on sandy beaches, which is one thing I wanted to get fast at. His style is a bit harsh and primitive, which may be necessary to catch the scene rapidly.If you are looking for an in depth and beautiful book of painting the sea and all of its moods, detailed instructions, clear colors and a great style try E. John Robinson's Paint the Sea and Shoreline in Watercolors Using Special Effects. He has spent decades painting and living near the sea in California and has painted in other shores around the world.
