 Hints and Tips Galore
Most books are like a three-course meal, a beginning, a middle and an end, to make sense you have to read them that way, this one is like a box of chocolates, you take the lid off and just look for the ones you like.
Best of all, you don't have to take in everything at once, I found I was using bits from it within an hour of receiving it.
Designed to aid the more experienced watercolorists (my opinion, the author may not agree with me) it is not a book for the raw novice since it assumes a certain level of skill, but if you are looking to add an edge to your work, to lift it from the ordinary, this may well be the best dollars you will ever spend.

 textures add eye appeal and detail and are easy to incorporate
Texture is a needed element in a painting and there are many in this book that you may not have tried. Directions are easy to follow and results add such interest to your paintings.
Best reference book for watercolorists I have seen!
Cathy Johnson's book was recommended in a college level class. With full-color representations and concise directions one receives guides to painting virtually every texture ever needed. Choose the bound version that one can open flatt, for easy referencing, if available. It is small enough to carry along but large enough to see clearly.
I have been trying to represent glass for years and Ms. Johnson's directions were so easy to follow my first attempt was successful!
Great book for beginners!
I just started watercolors recently and this book is a great resource as I am self taught except for a few tips picked up from acquaintances who have been painting for years. This book was recommended to me by another new to watercolors and I love it!
Great illustrations
This book is a wonderful "teacher"....the author takes you through step by step on every detail of creating textures....it is my "watercolor bible." It has helped me immensely with golf course paintings.
