    Zoltan Szabo’s 70 Favorite Water Color Techniques, June 30, 2000
    By 
    Jeff (Salt Lake City, UT USA) –

    The best part of this book is Zoltan Szabo’s explaination of watercolor paint. He explains transparent colors, opaque colors, reflective colors, sedimentary colors, staining colors, and nonstaining colors. I’ve read many books on watercolor painting and this is the first one I’ve seen that explains the nature of the paint. Also covered in this book are many techniques of applying paint. Several exercises are included.

    Excellent, February 17, 2000

    I found this book practical, easy to use and have already put many of the techniques described to good use. I am just sorry I didnt get this book a long time ago. If this doesnt add challenge and improve your painting, not much will.

    Complete. Enriches the water-colorist. Extraordinary., August 15, 1998
    By A Customer

    I am a mexican water-colorist. The book has proven very useful and I recommend it to any one wishing to explore this territory. I would like to know if a translation into Spanish is available or is being considered in the future. The techniques are perfectly applicable and there is a dramatic progress as one follows the recommendations given in the book.

    This review is from: A Celebration of Light: Painting the Textures of Light in Watercolor (Hardcover)

    A Celebration of Light:Painting the Textures of Light in Watercolor is a must read for all watercolor artists who want to better their understanding and application of an often tricky medium. Jane Freeman expertly describes her painting technique and beautifully guides one through her glazing process and color usage with step by step illustrations. Her award winning paintings, as well as informative contributions from other famous artists are displayed throughout making this one, (if not THE) most valuable watercolor book in my library!

    A Celebration of Light is a wonderful book – there are so many many infos in this book which you should not miss. Jane Freeman shares her technique, shows her colours and how to use and mix them, how to work the best with your reference photos, gives tips about composition and she also shows many paintings in step-by-step-demonstrations. She has a great knowledge about watercolor and this book is a very valuable addition to each library.

    Great book to keep on hand!!, April 1, 2008

    This review is from: A Celebration of Light: Painting the Textures of Light in Watercolor (Hardcover)

    I purchased this book hoping for a clearer description on how to capture light in watercolor paintings. This book met all my expectations. I keep it in the classroom and studio for my students to use as a reference. Jane Freeman has easily understandable step-by-step demonstrations, goes through the process of how to paint reflections, glass, lace and beautiful light patterns. She has included a wealth of information for all levels of painters. An added bonus is the addition of paintings and comments from numerous watercolorists whose paintings are seen in many competitions. I recommend this book to anyone who teaches the art of watercolor and encourage them to expose their students to it. It is a wonderful addition to an artist’s library.
