 Hey guys, how are you today? So we are here this week in my year 2017 doing yet another book review Now I chose to review one of my favorite authors and one of these I've gone through the other one. I haven't I do think there's an additional information in the thicker one I haven't have time to go through it, but I do love this one and I can't imagine I wouldn't love the newer version of the same Book collectors edition it says and I really only bought it because I love the author so much. Okay Gene Haynes if you've been watching me for a while, you know, I've mentioned her name before I love her She is my favorite watercolorist and I love the way her books read and if she teaches in person the way these read Then that's like on my wish list to take a class from her. I love this book I learned so much from it that I Thought I already knew but evidently didn't Her book is so well laid out with Techniques technique instructions suggestions It's like she's sitting there talking to you about what she does and why she does it what materials she uses Subject matter she paints she has a very suggestive way of Painting her images and she teaches you how to do this in this book She has a number of books that I'm slowly working my way through. This is the first one that I got In the back of the book there are step-by-step lessons and if you want to learn more about watercolor I can't recommend this one enough again. Her name is Gene Haynes color in light in watercolor How to paint color in light and watercolor? This is the paperback version. I got this one first Then I discovered the collector's new edition which came out later Which is also color in light and watercolor and I haven't gone through this yet I do think there's some additional lessons in here that I haven't done or something I'm sure there's something in here that I want to do so I will be working my way through that at some point, but I Doesn't matter which copy you get I know you'll love them if you love watercolor the way I do and you want to be more expressive with it learn More about color and light in watercolor More about shading and composition. I can't recommend her book enough. I think you'll love it.
