From Booklist:

With the return of warm weather comes renewed interest in en plein air painting, making Reid's guide for watercolor beginners timely and useful. After introductory sections, including a glossary, an explanation of materials and tips for outdoor painting, a discussion of value scales, and details of basic watercolor techniques, the author, whose works include two other watercolor-basics titles, uses step-by-step demonstrations of how to paint water, trees, mountains and hills, skies, buildings, and textures. Each section's presentation begins with a materials list and reference photo (enabling painters to make the most of rainy days), then proceeds with full-color steps culminating in a finished picture. A tidal pool study illustrates reflectivity, an Alaskan ice floe is used to demonstrate techniques for surface patterns, and an image of trees demonstrates the strengths of key tree shapes. This fine title will likely see strong demand from both beginning and more advanced watercolorists. Whitney Scott
