Book Overview
In this Art category title, Hoffmann draws on his years of teaching to structure the watercolor learning process. He starts with translating a subject into the language of watercolor and knowing what not to paint, then moves through layering, value, wetness, color, composition, and becoming your own teacher.
The book includes reproductions of watercolors by Tom Hoffmann and fellow artists, along with an index of topics.
