As a long time watercolorist and instructor, I feel this is one of the best books a beginning watercolor painter can put his hands on. Jack really breaks things down to their simplest form to show how to lay down color and paint some very nice simple painting that a beginner will have success with. I highly recommend this book. As a watercolorist for over 15 years, I found somethings in this book that helped me improve my own painting.
