Book Reviews of Watercolor in Motion: How to Create Powerful Paintings, Step by Step (Book & DVD)

Book Review: A Book and Short DVD
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this book and DVD for a friend and myself. I always say you can learn something from anything you read or watch.
I learned a lot about using more water with my watercolors and how to layer things a little easier. The DVD was too short for me, so I guess it was good enough to leave me wanting more.

Summary of Watercolor in Motion: How to Create Powerful Paintings, Step by Step (Book & DVD)

Painting wet-into-wet is one of the most popular yet challenging ways to paint with watercolor.

There is no other book that contains this type and quality of instruction in print and DVD/video.

Features a 50-minute DVD that allows readers to actually see how to manipulate paint and water.

Watercolor in Motion not only provides dynamic step-by-step photos of watercolor painting, it also points readers to specific tracks on the accompanying 50-minute DVD that will show them the techniques they need to successfully paint wet-into-wet. The book covers color and design, value, shapes and shadows. Readers will find step-by-step demonstrations of many different flowers and still life subjects as well as 18 mini-demos teaching the techniques needed to be a successful painter. Throughout the mini-demos readers will find cross-references to the DVD showing how to correctly hold the brush and apply paint using the popular wet-into-wet technique.
