Title: The chapter on "Value study" very useful
Review: For watercolor technique books I only spend time with the ones with paintings I love. This one is lovely, with results I want to emulate. As other readers have pointed out, the techniques taught in this book are time-consuming so they should be worthwhile. There is a particularly useful lesson on the value study, sketches that capture a range of tone, using white unpainted paper for white, then light, medium and black tones. I found this to be a great exercise.The book covers more than the pouring technique, with chapters on materials, composition, color among others. When it really gets rolling you can try to repeat her paintings with her step-by-step instructions, or do your own designs. I get most of my watercolor books from the library, and this is one of the few I've bought for my own.
