SUMMARY
Comprehensive Watercolor – An Interactive Guide for Learning to Paint with Watercolor is your complete resource for mastering watercolor painting! Comprehensive Watercolor meticulously details over 55 different techniques and includes access to more than 200 engaging video demonstrations and presentations, designed to visually guide you through each technique. It also contains illustrated gauges that break down complex concepts into useful graphics.
As a technique-based book rather than a subject-based book, the Guide is an indispensable resource for both novices and experienced artists eager to explore the nuances of watercolor painting. Inside, you’ll find a thorough exploration of innovative watercolor techniques, detailed material and equipment information, and helpful testing methods to help you understand your materials, use tools in a way that creates interest in your work.
The book provides a structured approach to mastering watercolor, with practical applications, hands-on exercises, and detailed demonstrations that guide learners through a diverse array of painting techniques. Beginners will find a clear pathway to developing their skills, while advanced artists are offered sophisticated methods to refine their craft. This guide covers essential topics such as material and equipment selection, color theory, strategies to avoid overworking, plein air painting techniques, and much more, making it a must-read for anyone serious about exploring the art of watercolor!
It enhances learning by encouraging watercolorists to create two interactive books: a Visual Library of Techniques and a Swatch Flip Book, designed to provide practical reference and testing opportunities. Whether you’re starting your first watercolor project or looking to deepen your existing skills, the expert guidance contained in this book is an invaluable reference.
You’ll also have access to a FREE Companion Guide with email signup, called the Ultimate Watercolor Product Guide that outlines the best materials and tools.

A Technical Manual with Video demonstrations to boot. Guy stuff. As a technician in the electrical field, learning from reading backed by pictorial and video demonstrations are highly effective training methods. Proven techniques to enhance quicker learning to achieve the freedom of expression artists strive for. This book makes it easy to go right where you need and has all the tools to get you there. I observed and helped in its development and trust me it’s exhaustive. A fair value as it just may be the only assistance you need.

I am a most humble painter that works primarily in the Lord’s medium, oil paints. I was always on the struggle bus when I tried watercolors. My watercolor paintings used to be sad, lonely, depressed bananas. But thanks to the Mandakyns book I’ve learned a lot about watercolors and my watercolors are looking 217.85% better!
