This book is very informative. After reading and practicing Haines' book I have much admiration for her method however it is a bit too "free" for me!

Jean Haines is a master artist and instructor of watercolor.
This book by Jean Haines, along with the others, are amazing. Her approach to instruct and inspire is like no other. At first glance Jean Haines' work as a step by step may appear intimidating, but her confidence in you as a painter pushes one forward. The book touches on so many things other than capturing light. There are tips and words of inspiration. I read her books through, study what she is teaching then work through the tutorials I want. If you like this loose and atmospheric style of watercolor, this and all her books are a must.

Great
I have a few of Haines watercolor books. Very interesting although I don't think these are good for beginner watercolor artists. Definitely intermediate level or higher.

RICEVUTO IL PACCO DOPO ORDINE E ATTESA PERCHE' NON ANCORA IN DISTRIBUZIONE,MA DAL MOMENTO DELLA SPEDIZIONE E L'ARRIVO SONO PASSATI POCHISSIMI GIORNI, BRAVI, IL LIBRO E' VERAMENTE BELLO ANCHE PERCHE' CONOSCO IL PRIMO E DEVO DIRE CHE L'ARTISTA E' AL TOP DEGLI ACQUARELLISTI ,SPIEGA IN MODO ENTUSIASMANTE E TI PUO' ANCHE LIBERARE LA MENTE PER RAGGIUNGERE BEI RISULTATI, IL MIO SOGNO SAREBBE DI CONOSCERE JEAN E' UN MITO PER ME.
