Review: Info not in other books - no matter how many books you have, you NEED this one. - With over 100 art books collected over decades, it is rare for me to purchase another book. It must be different and unique. In fact, recently I culled about two dozen from my shelves. desertcart’s generous sample impressed me so much I ordered it immediately. Anna’s phenomenal book greatly exceeded my expectations. In fact, it will replace many other books which I have accumulated. This is an unbelievably comprehensive reference, with outstanding photography and instruction. It would not be surprising to me if this sold out shortly. It is worth much more than the price. (And as you know, artists are frugal people.) Anna’s presence is palpable; I can hear her soothing voice and lovely diction as I read. This is not a “me too” book, rehashing the same beginner information that has been written extensively in many volumes over the years. That said, it is best appreciated by watercolorists with some experience. The thick quality of the paper and the cover was immediately noted. So often, one purchases a book to be disappointed in the flimsy paper, short length, and lack of quality content. This is exceptionally well written, spaced and organized. It must have taken years of work to produce something of this quality. The all inclusive index is wonderful, as books without an index are a pet peeve of mine. The font is easy to read. What is most impressive to me is the fact that there is actually new information not contained in other books. A wonderful description of the color families (such as cobalts, quinacridones, etc.) and sedimentation are a few examples. The words flow together so harmoniously and beautifully I often found myself “sneaking” in reading bits whenever I had a moment. This is the first time I would describe an art instruction book as a “page turner”! In addition to illustrations, links to the videos complete the instruction. It is clear that much thought, planning and detail went into creating this masterpiece. “101 Watercolor Secrets” is an impressive achievement for the prodigiously talented, multilingual Anna.
Review: Simply the best watercolor book I’ve read! - I borrowed this book from the library, twice, as soon as it came out but it’s so good I had to buy my own copy. It will be a reference book for years to come! It’s the best watercolor instruction book I have read! (And I’ve read many, even many very good ones.) I’m going to guess that the editors or publisher recommended and chose the title. There are not 101 “secrets”. Much of the lessons and instructions are common watercolor techniques and advice found in other books, but page by page the insights into understanding and learning watercolor (and I was already fairly experienced) are expertly, skillfully and systematically very well laid out, rich and full of detailed instructions, but very easy to read and understand with generous and very helpful photos of the artist’s work. It’s like an encyclopedia of watercolor almost. It’s just superb! To be sure, there are actually some of the artist’s secrets, kindly and generously given, for instance, my favorite—Anna’s use of Green Apatite Genuine pigment from Daniel Smith to create beautiful granulating leaves in her botanical paintings. Or her use of an iPad glove to keep from causing issues on her paper as she paints. Anna’s paintings are stunning and beautiful and she is so generous and kind to share how she has created them! There are links throughout the book for those who have purchased the book to watch very many instructional watercolor demonstrations of Anna’s paintings. The videos are of a level that many artists require a subscription. And I’ll add that Anna has a very modest, humble and gracious spirit!
