Title: Gorgeous pictures but how do you get there?
Review: I've owned this book for several years and have gone through all of the exercises at least twice over those years. I am totally puzzled by the other reviewer's rave reviews. Jan's paintings are absolutely gorgeous; in fact, she is my favorite watercolor painter- but don't expect to be able to paint anything like her after studying this book. There are many, many important techniques covered in this book, but the descriptions of how to do the different techniques are completely inadequate. There are only four steps for each demonstrated painting and there is no way you can produce a picture anything like Jan's by following those steps- unless you already know how to do those techiques. And I am an intermediate painter, not a beginner, just so you know. If you want to buy a book with lots of pictures of beautiful flower paintings in it, go for it, but don't expect to become a flower painter from it.
