The Encyclopedia of Watercolor Techniques, 2nd Edition

From Library Journal:
In this revised and updated volume, Harrison gives instructions for using water-based mediaAthis time adding watercolor techniques to the encyclopedic mix (alongside those for acrylics and gouache). In some 35 lessons, she covers the laying down of washes, working wet-in-wet, spattering, scumbling, and creating texture with salt. An able teacher and artist, trained at London’s Guildford School of Art and the Royal Academy School of Painting, Harrison has produced a fine volume. However, it can’t quite match the breadth and excitement of Zoltan Szabo’s 70 Favorite Watercolor Techniques (LJ 5/15/98).

    A book that shows how to master the art of watercolor, December 1, 1999
    By 
    Philip Hallawell (Brazil) –

    This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Water Color Techniques (Hardcover)

    I was requested by my editors to write the introduction to the Brazilian edition of this book and immediately accepted, because, unlike o most books on art techniques, Hazel Harrison concentrates on demonstrating how to master all the resources and effects that watercolor offers, without implying that there is any preferable way in which to paint. The techniques are clearly explained and well illustrated and, in the second part of the book, she includes many examples of how different artists used the effects described in the first part to interpret various subjects. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to master the art of watercolor.

    Making Watercolors, September 22, 2001
    By 
    Frances L. Stearns (Scottsdale, AZ USA) –

    This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Watercolor Techniques, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)

    Harrison defines and employs standard language used in identifying watercolor effects. She also identifies watercolor usages and materials and is consistent in this regard. Her illustrative material is literally a survey of the watercolor world, with no histrionics, from abstraction to the tightest realism. It is a beautiful book and gratifyingly complete. She has no ‘method’ to push. With her insistence on planning as the key to realizing one’s concept, she leaves the reader in peace to enjoy the experience the book offers of seeing how accomplished watercolorists plan their work.
    The index is excellent. I will admit disappointment that Harrison touches only lightly on the qualities of now very expensive materials that would enable one to make useful choices. Her remarks on paper by type and maker I find useful and I wish this knowledgeable woman had given the reader more insights on other materials.
