Paperback,144 pages, published 1997. Good used condition. There is a slight ripple to the pages; it was a bit hard to photograph, please check all pictures. Overall this copy is very gently read: Binding is tight. No stains, no rips, no writing. "A complete at-home watercolor course provides material descriptions, techniques, and exercises by three professional artists, and demonstrates the uses of contrast, color, and tonality. Covering the tools and skills needed by beginner artists, this is a no-nonsense guide providing detailed material descriptions and techniques." Gerald Woods was a prolific art instructor and I found his books to be incredibly helpful with great photos. I also have a Poshmark listing for Woods' book Practical Drawing and Sketching. I got this book many years ago but it's time for this copy to find its new home. ☺️🌈🖌️🖼️
