I am an art teacher,and I found that when my students become frustrated with their work, and they run out of ideas for painting, a step-by-step is always a reliable lesson plan. This particular step-by-step book by Frank Clarke is great for everyone who likes to have an outline to go by, but still wants to be creative. Right now my students and I are working on a seascape acrylic painting following Frank Clarke's instructions. We are all really enjoying the way our paintings are coming out.
Frank Clarke is a wonderful artist, and also a wonderful teacher. I found this book to be geared towards the ultra beginner watercolor artist. Even though it is simple, "hence the name" Frank doesn't dumb the things down, it is actually inspiring to have everything so clearly explained.Like Frank says, anyone can learn to paint with this system. Even if you can't draw a stick figure, don't be discouraged, this system is awesome. It will get you satisfying results with little learning curve.The paintings he guides us through are not simple looking by any means, if they are simple to create(which they will become), well that's our little secret. Painting doesn't have to be difficult to have great results.I can't recommend any of Frank Clarke's products enough. I have his dvds, books, brushes, and paints. They are all wonderful.I would definately recommend getting the companion dvds with this book, so you can see the man himself explain things, and see the master at work.Keep the courses coming Frank, and thanks for all the great inspiration, motivation, and teachings.Happy painting.
I am a painter and just bought this book. I paint in oils and acrylics and wanted to learn watercolor, so, I bought this book. I just finished reading it and can say it is a wonderful book, easy to understand. I am looking forward to painting water color. I want to make personal cards for my family and friends. I love receiving hand made cards and I wanted to paint some. To me when I receive a card like this, it feels like a gift because someone took the time to do it. Now, I am certain doing these little cards will be a wonderful practice and will be fun when I do paint watercolor landscapes. Thank you Frank Clarke.
I got this for my six year old granddaughter who is in love with art. When she comes to my house, she spends her time at the art table where I have lots of supplies. This is the perfect book for her, with guidance. She is reading at fifth grade level and can understand it, but if you use this for a small child, be prepared to walk her through the steps. It is truly valuable in teaching several important principles of watercolor.
Infinitely easy book to follow and if you take to heart what he's saying, you definitely will learn how to paint. Clarke's technique is easy to remember and easy to do for any level artist and I dare say could be used with both Watercolor or Acrylic with satisfying results.
Fro the beginner this is the perfect book. Clear, understandable, instruction that helps the budding artist achieve from the beginning. Would recommend this and the videos to any beginning watercolourist.
This was such a great book to use to paint watercolor landscapes. The lessons are so easy to follow and the results were good. After traveling to Ireland it was great fun to paint scenes here at home I had just visited! That was an unexpected bonus. Book arrived within a week after ordering in very good condition! A friend in my painting class liked mine so well I ordered her a copy and it came promptly as well in good condition. I would recommend any of Frank Clark's books on water colors.
i have enjoyed watching Frank Clarke on public television and it was easier to refer to the book. The book was in excelent condition and I am enjoying using it.
