This informative book - by an artist who began to paint after he retired - focuses on the tips and techniques not found in many how-to watercolor books. Beginners will learn all the basics of watercolor painting but also practical tips such how to set up a work space and select art supplies without spending a lot of money. While many watercolor guides focus on specific topics such as landscape painting, this How-To is unusual in its focus on important art lessons - color theory and perspective, among them - as well as unconventional techniques such as creating textures with salt and plastic wrap. In fact, the 151-page book is packed with information and includes step-by-step instructions as well as numerous tips, Words of Wisdom passages, and quotes from famous artists - all part of the author's intent to instruct with humor. As the book's cover suggests, the book has an additional focus on unique frames. The author has a regional following for creating unique frames from discarded and found objects. He includes an extensive visual catalog of his frames here, describing how he created a frame and explaining his inspirations. He hopes that his readers will be equally inspired to make their own frames for their paintings, displaying them for friends and family. As Joe says, art is an adventure meant to be shared.
