Great for beginners

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2024

Verified Purchase

I am a beginner in watercolor, and frequently find "beginner" books too complicated for me. I am so pleased to say that is not the case with this book. Ana Victoria Calderon starts with the basics of watercolor, and then shows how to add some simple textures. It is surprising to see how effective they are. She then goes on to show you how to use textures in ever more complex paintings. The photographs are lovely and very helpful. I can't wait to try these techniques out! I received this book from Netgalley and Quarry Books. All opinions are my own.

This was a bargain gently used book. Very inspiring for me to try new ideas for effects beyond the norm.

This book is amazing! I follow Ana's artwork and this book presents her tips and tricks when working with textures. It complements really well her previous books.
Unfortunately my copy arrived with some stains on the cover and a liquid stain in the back. In this case, the issue was with the shipping.

Fun book for people just starting or those who have been doing it for a while. It has basics needed and then branched out into how to do some textures while doing watercolor. It's for sure a fun book that will give you many ideas for new projects.

Beautifully presented and full of wonderful illustration

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2024

This book is fantastic if you are a beginner watercolourist. I started to learn this medium late last year having had forays into acrylics and gauche and wanting to treturn to painting as a calm space whie trying something new. I was fumbling my way through experimentation with watercolurs and came across three "how to" books on Netgalley and I was immediately inspired

Watercolour Textures for Artists takes you to a whole new dimension outside of washes, tape and stencils.

Visually, the book is absolutely gorgeous, opening with stunning illustrations. The sections are laid outconcisely and the photography is clean and bright.

The sections follow a logical process, supplies and basic techniques, thentypes of textures and various sources of inspiration for textures.

The Mindful Painting section really hit home for me as the core reason for why I was getting back into painting. This helped to ground the endeavour without being invasive. This is a really interesting section where "less is more" and tones, subject matter and structure is geared toward balance and a gentle flow, being present in the moment. This was extrememly useful for me as overkill and chaos is a common denominator in all of my creative endeavours.

The section of mystical landscapes and skyscrapers was inspirational and the templates a nice touch and a great launch pad if you have a creative block (this book will solve that problem from page 1!)

Beautifully presented and full of wonderful illustration. I will be buyiing the hard copy when it is published!

Thank you to NetGalley for this beautiful free eARC. The Review is left voluntarily

My daughter and I are both watercolor painting enthusiasts who love exploring various techniques. When I found Watercolor Textures for Artists: Explore Simple Techniques to Create Amazing Works of Art, I knew that it would be a great adjunct to our hobbyist-level skills.

Topics Covered:

~ Watercolor Basics: Gets you started with an overview of the essential supplies necessary to get started, as well as a primer on beginning techniques.

~ Texture Swatching: Explores wet on wet, wet on dry and mixed media techniques.

~ Inspired Textures: in nature, culture and the abstract.

~ Mindful Painting: go deeper into your painting journey and really connect with what you want to express.

~ Mystical Landscapes & Skyscapes: I think this one is my favorite section. So gorgeous and inspirational!

~ Includes line-drawn templates to get you started, along with instructions on how to use them.

~ In the back is a handy list of resources for obtaining both further instruction and supplies.

Whether you are a beginner just starting your journey into watercolors, or a novice looking to expand your skills, I encourage you to check out Watercolor Textures for Artists: Explore Simple Techniques to Create Amazing Works of Art.

A fun book to use or look at for inspiration

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2024

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

We get so used to our surroundings that it can be difficult to look at things with a new perspective. Even if you don’t do watercolors, this book inspires by showing watercolor painting renditions of things like windows and the surface of water, and more stylized and less realistic subjects as well. It shows some different techniques like wet-on-dry layering or white ink over wet-on-wet wash, as well as breaking the projects apart into color palettes, and providing some blank templates that can be copied and printed out to use. This is a useful book to flip through for inspiration or meditation on our amazing everyday surroundings. this would be a great book for a classroom, someone starting visual journaling, anyone interested in watercolor, or if you like coloring books and are ready for a challenge.

Content is amazing, printing is sub par

Reviewed in Canada on March 20, 2024

Verified Purchase

This is my 5th Ana Victoria Calderon book. I really love her work and style of painting and sharing of ideas that you can take and experiment with for your own work. The colours in the book are really good. Unfortunately the black and white printing is smeared on some of the pages and some pages were badly wrinkled. This is the second book I received, I returned the first because it was so bad. Quarry, please audit your printer in China, it's not right to impact an Artist's reputation with a sub-par printing process.
