The Dance of Watercolor: Luminosity, Luster, Iridescence / Advanced Beginners and Beyond

My artist friends and I watch it together. We loved it! Gave us new inspiration. Some new techniques.

I especially liked the tropical fish and that is why I bought this book. I though it was easy, but I tried it out on a beginning student and she though it was hard. Still, I like that painting and how Julie approach the subject. She is a wonderful teacher. I would highly recommend this book to a beginning and intermediate student of watercolor.

This is one of the best DVDs I've seen on the subject. Julie Cohn explains everything clearly and takes each topic: luminosity, lustre and iridescence by not only describing them but actually painting and demonstrating what they are and how they can be achieved. The examples are great, the pictures excellent, the teaching first class and the purpose and mission statement of the DVD totally fulfilled. She clearly knows what she's talking about, can demonstrate it and is good at teaching it.I wish all would-be art teachers were are clear, concise and good!

Every art student must have this DVD. It is very well written, easy to understand, and professionally presented. This DVD completed my study and understanding of color theory. It is the only book needed to be able to paint with exquisite light and life. Be sure to get her new book, Creating Exquisite Color! The color wheels she makes available are a priceless treasure.

I was very impressed with this book. As a new watercolorist, having a lot to learn, I found many hints in this book. I also enjoyed reading it--it was well written.

I love the way this artist uses color. Her techniques are a great learning tool. I would recommend this book to my artist friends.

The author discusses very few examples and demonstrations and by showing what has been done masters she keeps talking about. As a student I expected more out of this, a bit unsatisfied and inspired. The first half was OK but lost me by the time she reached Iridescence.
