Amazing

I learnt more from this book as well as one of Grahame Booth’s DVDs than I’ve learnt in several years of art classes and other “how to paint” books. Well worth the price.

It’s a DK book, fantastic 5 star quality and content overall. HOWEVER, as I am a person with difficulty seeing smaller and indistinct text the apparently, solely aesthetic choice of small grey font for ALL main body text is maddening. Does anyone consider that older readers might like to investigate watercolour for retirement. I’m going to need extra light and and a blessed magnifying glass.
