Zoltan Szabo Paints Nature: A Watercolor Techniques Workbook
YA-- These books are identical in concept; the subject determines the techniques discussed. In each volume, step-by-step instructions and a supply list for six projects enable students to paint along with Szabo. Six additional drawings provide readers with beginnings for their own works. The introductions are good and relatively complete. Color information is helpful; directions are clear; hints are appropriate and well placed. The demonstrations are useful, and may inspire those who are intimidated by the prospect of a blank sheet of paper. Timid students not enrolled in art classes may find these books a first step in their advancement as painters.- Barbara Hawkins, Oakton High School, Fairfax, VACopyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
