Had attended a week-long workshop with the artist so the book was a refresher. Not sure if someone who had never learned this style of watercolor painting from Lian or other Asian influence would be able to use the book. However the book itself is excellent in quality, detail, and content.

The information inside this book made me understand the basics of the Sumi-e art. I have little knowledge on painting, and most of it on olio based paints. The simplicity of this tecnic it's astonishing, and this book show the different stages, from basic strokes to complex creations.
Very good piece to have in your collection if you are an art enthusiast.
Better go with his other book January 5, 2006

I've purchased both of Lian Quan Zhen books, "Chinese WC Techniques: Painting Animals" and "Chinese Painting Techniques for Exquiste Watercolors". Painting Animals has the initial info that is supplied in his Exquisite Watercolor book. He does go into more animals in Painting Animals but Exquisite Watercolor provides all you need and I think it's a better book.
