Product Description
By making use of Penny Soto's detailed knowledge of watercolour pigments and how they work together, readers are able to learn how to combine and juxtapose colours in a way that will make watercolours seem to glow from within. She uses step-by-step photographs to teach readers how to choose a carefully chosen underpainting. This is one of the techniques that makes colours "glow," and readers will practise this with mini-demonstrations and illustrative instructive art. She also guides readers on light, backgrounds and shadows, with a special chapter on using underpainting to paint reflections in water.

 Painting Glowing Colors in Watercolor July 23, 2007
Beautiful book. Detailed help in learning to underpaint - showing all colours used. Great exercises to copy to learn the technique. Inspiring.

An absolutely beautifully illustrated and written book. Did I learn anything? Well, yes, I did learn quite a bit on color and setting up my pallette. But to actually paint...not yet as I am a beginner. I think this is a great book to hold onto when one becomes more advanced especially in learning how to use the fabulous colors Penny uses to get the great effects in her paintings. I highly recommend it.
Not for a beginner but still good instruction March 11, 2005

Although this book is a little too far advanced for the beginning watercolorist, it is full of good instruction for the beginner. Penny uses a lot of different colors. I suggest the beginner study Penny's palette and choose only 1-2 colors in each range. Later more colors can be added. Overall the book is good instruction.
 Too many colors for the palette December 3, 2004

Although I loved the paintings and the transparency, even I who have been painting watercolors for more than 10 years found the number of paints used are too many and, in trying to do them, found the demonstrations too complicated. I remember an instructor saying that 3 colors to mix was enough. I wouldn't recommend the book to a beginner.

I received this book for my birthday. It is one of the best watercolor instruction books I have. She gives very good instructions on how to paint with glowing colors. She has several other instructions and suggestions on composition, drawing etc. This book was carefully thought out and the illustrations are wonderful.
