Expert watercolor artist and teacher Frontz provides readers with a virtual workshop in a book that (along with some persistence) will help those who find watercolor to be a finicky and unforgiving medium master the technique. Through step-by-step exercises, augmented with thoughtful theoretical and practical observations, readers will learn tricks and gain confidence with this transparent, quick-drying medium. The author hopes that with enough practice the reader will develop his or her own personal style, and, more importantly, learn to see as an artist does. Sections cover materials, interpreting subjects as shapes, using value effectively, the properties of color and line, conveying dynamic textures, and expressing mood. VERDICT For many of your library's users, this guide will be the watercolor how-to they have always wanted to check out.
