Review by D. Goodrich for Watercolor Tricks & Techniques: 75 New and Classic Painting Secrets

When I received this book, I grabbed a cup of coffee and settled in for a relaxing evening. Within ten minutes I was up in the studio, motivated by “Wow, I’ve gotta try this!”
As a teacher and an author, Cathy is always so generous with information and this book is no exception. She writes in a positive, easy to understand way that motivates you to try something that might seem unusual. Her innovative uses for common items and fresh ways of mixing media together are my favorite parts of this book.
Beautiful paintings, inspiring demos, and very clear step-by-step instructions, will ensure this book a place right on my work table as a dog-eared, well loved workbook. I highly recommend this book for any one working in watercolor, no matter their level.

This is an amazing book. There are many techniques and types of products that are reviewed and for every one there are original watercolor paintings prepared by Cathy to demonstrate what is in the text. The first section is perfect for someone just buying their first set of artist grade watercolor paints. The remaining sections carefully review many, many ways to create more advanced effects. It is written clearly and is both a basic and reference book for beginning and advanced painters. I read it through completely and now I’m ready to go back and try some of the methods that are new to me.

I’ve been a fan of Cathy Johnson’s books for several years and have purchased several, so it was a delight to discover that she is also a terrific teacher. In this book, a revised edition of an earlier one, she brings you some innovative and excellent suggestions for watercolorists at any level. In addition to the great photos of her work, there are step by step tutorials and fabulous techniques for improving or adding interest to your work, as well as suggestions for using simple household tools you might find in your kitchen or otherwise around your house.
The color is beautiful, the illustrations are fabulous, the format is excellent to work by. I’m going to love using this book!

A great book for the person who wants to try a new medium, or begin painting for the first time. Cathy Johnson’s step by step instructional demos and great sense of humor make you want to get in there and just do it. The instructions are VERY clear and easy to understand–she never assumes you know what any given painting term means.

I do not have an extensive art background. Without becoming arcane, the author gives sufficient knowledge and support TO GET YOU GOING. This is the right book for someone who wants to try watercolor but lacks the art background and/or the creative support one would get from an instructor.

Although I am taking some watercolor classes, this book had many tips and illustrations and explanations that I did not get in class.

I like all of Cathy Johnson’s books, but this one is my favorite. It is very practical, understandable, and well illustrated. Although anyone would enjoy it, this book is especially beneficial to someone just beginning to paint with watercolors. It deals with the basics. I love it.
