My very good friend, and in my estimation the finest watercolor instructor I know of, has just been published by North Light Books. (She co-authored the book with Beth Means.) While the many paintings printed in the book are watercolor or mixed media, I would recommend this to painters in any media (I ordered one...). Cathe has a unique way of breaking down complex compositional and painting issues into easy to understand solutions no matter what tools you work with (she is also an excellent oil painter and print maker). I predict this will be a foundational book for every artist's library.
Having spent countless hours painting with Cathe I've watched her take scenes of what I saw as nothing and turn them into inspiring works. Just look at the front cover of the book. What might have been humdrum has been changed into intriguing shapes and color. You can take a look at her book HERE. Get one from her website and receive a signed copy plus an extra freebie.
(Just don't eat her peanut butter and candy corn sandwiches....)
