title: Painting in Watercolor: The Indispensable Guide
author: David Webb
description: This is one of the better watercolour instructional books... The book is written as a guide and thus assumes you have no prior knowledge. It talks about the tools, supplies, basic painting techniques and moves on to more advanced examples. There are several short tutorials that focuses on specific techniques. Basic art theory is also discussed in relation to watercolour painting, such as choosing composition, understanding perspective, using colours and more. There are also tips for specific subjects, like how to paint water, snow, shells, architecture, fabric, flowers, portraits and many more. The instructions are clear and easy to understand. One of the highlights of this book are the beautiful watercolour paintings included as examples. Those paintings make this book a wonderful reference, a book that I see myself referring to again and again just to be inspired by the artists and the medium. Most highly recommended.

  to study digital art. I have a very good career as a digital artist working in a known 
  game studio. But deep down, I always wanting to do traditional pai
