Review: Brilliant Book - I used to paint a lot, but had an enforced long break and needed something to help me back in. While this is good for beginners, I also found it exactly the right level to remind me of the various techniques, and the very useful, detailed instruction for a few projects just the right level. I was making by own decisions again by the end. Ideal!
Review: it's an amazing book to have or pass on to someone else when you've finished with it. - This book is amazing! I have so many books lying around that I will never open, but this book is a work of art in itself. It explains everything you need to know as a beginner in a very clear way, and it is not boring. It also has amazing paintings inside. I have seen the author's YouTube tutorials and was amazed at how clearly he explains watercolour techniques such as lines and washes. If it costs a few pounds more than the Kindle version on desertcart, buy the paper version — it's an amazing book to have or pass on to someone else when you've finished with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fine book, but the content is all on Youtube
*by A***R on 13 March 2023*

Paul Clark is a fabulously talented watercolour artist whose video demonstrations of watercolour techniques on his Youtube channel are some of the best and most useful content for any aspiring artist. He promotes this book on his Youtube channel, so I ordered it. Thing is, there is nothing in the book which you won’t learn from watching his Youtube channel; in fact the Youtube channel has wider and more varied content for techniques. That said, the book itself is very well produced and presented. It’s a softcover of manageable dimensions to be portable, and the artistic images are of very high quality. I have no idea how many of these books Mr. Clark has sold, but I wish him every success. If you’re on a budget and have a good internet connection, my advice would be to watch the videos and learn that way, as you may then watch the actual techniques in action in real time.
