5 out of 5 stars This one is fantastic!   January 14, 2008

"Watercolor School" by Hazel Harrison states on its book jacketthat it is "a practical guide to painting with watercolor." This is an accurate description of this really useful book. It is complete in every aspect, and even for the more experienced watercolorist it can be used as an exceptionally valuable informational source. What more can I say? It's a great book.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent, step-by-step, skill-building book   July 22, 2007

I'm a serious beginner and I chose this book for what it offered and then was surprised to notice that it's a Reader's Digest book (sorry, but I guess I'm a bit of a book snob). Well nevermind because it's a terrific book. Hazel Harrison walks you through a huge variety of watercolor techniques. Great lessons and reference.

I would have appreciated specific paint colors and brands with each example/technique, but even without that it's a very valuable resource.

This is an excellent book. I have been painting for many years and
still learned a lot from reading it. In this case I bought it as a
gift because I liked my copy so much.

Over the years, I have bought many watercolor books to help me get started painting with watercolor. I wish I had found this one first. It has the basics and more. The techniques and demonstrations are illustrated extremely well. The text is easy to follow, too. In some cases, it even gives two approaches to painting the same subject matter. Good color theory, too. I know I will use this now and into the future.
