A reference notebook for watercolor painters

Gordon MacKenzie’s volume brings together material from two watercolor guides, including one devoted to landscapes. Its notebook format gathers principles, concepts, tips, techniques, and lessons across the practice of watercolor painting. The emphasis is on understanding and exploring possibilities rather than following a fixed list of rules, making the book a broad source of ideas for developing a painting practice. At 288 pages, it spans both general watercolor concerns and landscape painting.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Watercolor painters seeking a broad collection of concepts and techniques
  • Artists interested in landscape watercolor as well as general painting guidance
  • Painters who prefer exploratory principles over a strict set of rules
