Summary: Watercolor enthusiast's paradise ...
Comment: This book gives an excellent idea and keeps an idol in front of the reader as how a watercolor painting should be. Nice simple language and examples chosen are truly magnificent. Tom's style of painting is simply out of the world.

Summary: You can't understand the color in watercolor without this.
Comment: Hill's painting style is loose, and ideal for the usually
spontaneous nature of watercolor. This is a fine and needed
book on color. The technique of painting receives a
concise two chapters, yielding space to the problem of
making watercolor paints behave. Hill's study of color
is based in physics and reality, not taste. I much prefer
it this way. Full and detailed descriptions of "all the
paints you will probably ever use" tell how they perform,
how to test your paints, and what to expect when you mix
them. If blue and yellow do not make green for you,
but brown or gray, this book gives insight into why this
happens. To show what effect color selections have in a
painting, one scene is painted with seven palettes, from
minimal (monochromatic) to full colors. Chapter Seven,
"Color in light & shadow", shows photographically how light
and shadow effect color and how to duplicate the effects.
I have not seen this covered in other books. Through ten
demonstrations you will learn how to render colors in
shadows, in colorful subjects, and in not-so-colorful
subjects by making colorful grays. You will learn to use
color to paint "white" subjects, the greens in nature,
clouds and skies, and even colors that are not in a scene,
but should be. This is a valuable an informative book.
I have given away some twenty or so books to my artist club
library, but not this one. It is worth the price, to me,
for Chapter 7 alone. I would have rated it a 10, if it
were on color only, minus the first two chapters, but these
are helpful to beginners.
