Watercolor book

Mon Sep 22, 2008, 1:34 PM

So now that I've started to dabble in the world of watercolor, I'm getting inspired by it. I've got some new ideas similar to In A Daydream that I'm going to be starting on soon. I'm thinking about getting a book on watercolor technique. Any suggestions for a good one?

I wish I had a tip on a good watercolor book. I've actually been looking for one myself. Have you found one yet?

I just ended up getting a basic watercolor book from the bookstore. I just browsed through a bunch of books and picked out the one which looked the most helpful. I'm sure there's a really good one out there somewhere though!

I enjoy the Watercolorists Essential Notebook. I used it when I first started out, but really, you have to experiement and have fun on your own to really learn watercolors.
(And remember, that nothing you do is wrong no matter what anyone else says.)
