Gorgeous book with excellent instructions for developing quick, loose watercolor skills By LibbyLA This beautiful, inspirational book is exactly what I've been looking for! I'm not a journaling person, but I became intrigued by watercolor sketching after reading several Cloth Paper Scissors magazine articles by various contributors. I really liked the idea of small studies that captured the essence of whatever you're painting without trying to make it absolutely realistic. My detail-oriented, perfectionist nature gets in the way of me loosening up and just enjoying the freedom of creating simple art for my own pleasure so learning to work "loose" with watercolors in small sketchbooks is something I want to do.About three weeks ago, I got the ebook version of this book and Gina's "No Excuses Art Journaling," as well as Gina's two videos in a bundle from Interweave, and thoroughly enjoyed them. I even started collecting pictures from magazines as both books and videos recommended, but I just don't have the right types of magazines to get a lot of images I'd like to paint.As much as I enjoyed the ebook version, for me, this book is best enjoyed in paper form. I didn't really appreciate everything that's in it until my paper copy arrived yesterday. All I can say is, "Wow!" I am looking forward to working through the exercises using my Koi 24-color travel watercolor kit and waterbrushes because those are my tools of choice. The entire book is useful and all the exercises look like they will be fun to do.The best part of this book for me is the inspiration section. Each group of four pages includes a page of inspirational words, possible subjects, poetry, and quotes on the first lefthand page. There's an image (approximately 5 x 7) on the righthand page and a suggested color palette with color names in Gina's favorite paints. On the next pair of pages are an ink drawing of the photo subject on the left page and a watercolor version on the right page. The subjects include animals, birds, travel/landscape, and nature images. Your painting doesn't have to look exactly like Gina's, but if you get stuck or if you are trying to develop you interpretation skills, you can look at the inspiration photo and Gina's drawings and paintings to see what she did.I have had trouble finding magazine pictures that I wanted to paint, so having these 13 carefully-selected images to work from, as well as Gina's interpretations, will give me lots of practice images that I can use to start developing my skills.Gina's painting style really appeals to me because it lends itself to small images that can be completed in a short time, which is exactly what I want to learn to do.This is a book that covers painting techniques for sketching and journaling. If you are looking for something really technical, this is not the book for you. If you want a book that teaches you techniques so that you can relax and enjoy playing with shapes and colors and won't take you hours and days to complete, this is a great book. It even encourages those who aren't comfortable with drawing to trace images to color, so you don't even have to have good drawing skills to enjoy using water colors.

I got this book in the mail yesterday (thank you, Amazon!) and already have been diving in and loving it!I am an acrylic artist and I struggle big time with water color. But now, even though I've only gotten to page 38, I'm already playing with my water color set, discovering new techniques, and an ease with my brush that I didn't have before.It's an easy to follow, beautifully illustrated workbook for learners like me!

She likes the book very much. Easy to follow instructions and tips. She has painted several items from the book. She feels this book give her a good start on water painting. Very pleased with the book. There are some of her waterpaintings from the book included with this review.
