Painting Watercolour Trees the Easy Way

I have bought a number of watercolor instruction books but Terry Harrison's Watercolor Trees is my favorite. The step by step instructions are simple to follow with great results even though I didn't have the exact same colors he recommends.One of the only drawbacks is that he uses some of his own colors (greens and shadow) that I can't find at the local art store. Of course there are other greens to use but I would like to get as close to his as possible and he doesn't tell you how to mix standard colors to get his shades. So it's hit and miss.I have always thought of shadows as just a grey but his is a light reddish purple. It looks wonderful in the book.If you can draw a simple tree this book will show you how to bring it to colorful life. It also explains how to do simple but effective reflections in rivers and puddles which is very impressive. I now want to do all my landscapes with reflections.I have since ordered his three special greens and the shadow color which shipped from England to the Seattle area. Once I receive the paints I will be attempting all the tutorials in the book.

I can't stress this enough. Thia is an excellent, excellent book! I'm going to purchase any and all how to paint books by Terry Harrison.

I love Terry Harrison's style of painting. It is very similar to my own so I find his books and reference materials very useful. There are detailed step by step directions that help

Terry Harrison has such a talent with watercolors but I also love the scenes he chooses to paint. I would love to be wherever he was to produce this book!

This is the best watercolor book I have. However, there are some specialized colors that he references that need to be purchased from him. However,the prices are reasonable and the delivery is prompt.
