Not for the beginner.By Iris J.Mr. Garcia doubtless knows his craft- his pictures are nice; but he is not an instructor. As someone who has not worked with watercolor a a lot; but whod like to learn I was hoping to learn a few simple techniques to start with. The book begins by saying that you should invest in the very best of everything. It also states lots of information w/o explanation or demonstration; rapid fire facts. If I understood all he was saying; I wouldnt need a book!Maybe Ill stick with oils acrylics.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
