This fresh, new reprint of one of America's most widely admired artists offers sound advice and answers questions about technical and creative aspects of the art. Thirteen full color demonstrations all begin with a value sketch and detailed descriptions of how the picture was painted. Although we've updated the cover and added a wire "O" binding, all of the contents of this book are complete, as created by author/artist John Pike.

This book is written in his own warm personal style and vision. John provides fascinating reading and practical advice for every watercolorist.
