CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Water Color Book was Excellent. -
This was my first time in ordering an item from Amazon.com. How easy to place an order with very good directions.
The book I ordered was very helpful with my water color paintings. It arrived quickly and was in excellent condition.

Since then, I have ordered three more books and can't wait for them to arrive.
Thank you.

water color in motion -
The color alone is inspiring with a wonderful format- good exercises as well. This book is motivation in a big way. Clear, informative, great ideas and techniques. Would give it as a gift for sure.

Water Color in Motion by Birgit O'Connor -
As a relatively new watercolor artist who has purchased a number of watercolor books in the past couple years, I find Watercolor in Motion by Birgit O'Connor is quite possibly the best instructional books I've read. It comes with a DVD which is high quality (which is more than I can say for others by different artists), which goes hand-in-hand with the book. The book and DVD cover a number of important areas which include color and color mixing, movement of water and color, washes, texture techniques, and, especially helpful to me--a demonstration of what can go wrong when you go back into a watercolor to try to "fix" it. The DVD demonstrates how to create, step-by-step, the techniques which are covered in the book. Ms. O'Connor is one of those rare individuals who has the ability to explain things in simple, concise terms, which a new artist will find refreshing. I only wish this book had been available when I was first introduced to watercolors. It would have saved me a lot of frustration as well as watercolor paper. I would highly recommend this book.

Love it! -
I love this book and Birgit O'Connor's painting style. I hope she will write more books and produce more videos on flower painting.

Practically a steal at this price!! -
I have a few DVD's showing watercolor how-to and so far, this is the best one.
Birgit really explains and shows how she does each technique; nothing done fast nor glanced over. This is the first Video I have ever gone threw that I did not have to stop and repeat on because I just did not get it. What is even better is she is not focusing on her work to the point you are learning "how to reproduce my paintings" versus learning the technique and being able to apply it to your own ideas. I think that is what I love about this DVD the most.In the video, you see exactly how to mix the colors and not only how to apply the paint, when and why but also the water, how much, when and why. No small detail is ignored. Unfortunately, for the more advanced painter some things are probably overkill but that is moot. She is showing you how to go beyond what she painted. Now I am spoiled and will be comparing all future DVD's to this one.
