4 out of 5 stars Inspirational read   December 12, 2008
Watercolor The Spirit Of Spontaneity
I'm always on the lookout for books that inspire me to experiment with new techniques that are relatively easy to accomplish. This book certainly meets all criteria; it will serve me well. It showcases styles and techniques of various artists in an easy to understand language with more detail on techniques at the back of the book. I would, however, have enjoyed more chapters on the more abstract approaches to watercolor painting rather than the more traditional methods which the book covers more than adequately.



5 out of 5 stars This Book is Fantastic   December 7, 2008
I love this book. The use of color is wonderful. I really can't put this book down. If you are a colorist, this is a book for you, you won't regret the purchase

This is a most enjoyable approach to some different type of watercolor painting options. I am enjoying each demonstration so far and plan to go through each one individually.

5 out of 5 stars You cannot beat Karlyn for teaching watercolors   October 18, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I now own all three of Karlyn's books and they are what I'd dash in to rescue if my house were burning down. She teaches and she includes other talented teachers for such a variety of creativity. Not your "do this, do that" instruction book, but more suggestions allowing the painter to be far more creative than those.
Her art work is superb as is that of all the other artists.
I was not surprised to see her first two books, which I am so glad I own, to jump in price. I'll never sell mine!
