Review by Library Journal Review
Self-taught artist Fluckiger's trademark watercolor style consists of soft backgrounds and crisp, realist foreground images. After a brief look at the necessary supplies and preparations, he teaches readers how to do simple washes as well as how to experiment with different paints, brushes, and color mixes. Spattering, geometric shapes, and exercises with seashells, fabrics, and glass lead to projects for stationery, greeting cards, journal entries, and bookmarks. This book is highly recommended for collections looking for a personal approach to watercolors and is suitable as a teaching vehicle for beginners. For an even more general, rounded approach, see Reader's Digest's The Ultimate Watercolor Course: Simple Techniques To Paint Like the Pros. (c) Copyright 2010.
