This is the lovely, helpful book that everyone has said it is, but I think people should know that North Light recently published Cathy's book "Painting Nature in Watercolor," which is this same book with added content about watercolor pencils. I bought both books without know that much of the content is identical. The only other significant difference is that "Creating" is hardcover and printed with texture to mimic watercolor paper--a little more nicely done. "Painting" is softcover and printed in the usual white paper way. Cathy's usual superb work, but I'm docking it a star for being a duplicate.

I highly recommend this book! If you're new to watercolors, this book has some excellent tips on how to capture your subjects on the go or at a more leisurely pace- however, this book is for everyone! The beautiful artwork/colors and techniques are also exciting to look at. I leave this book open on my art desk to glance at when I want a quick dose of inspiration/excitement towards my current project. :) I've read through it completely two times now. This book won't disappoint!!

I have just recieved Cathy Johnson's new book, "Creating Nature in Watercolor, an Artists Guide." I sat down and read it through, and found it felt like an beautifully illustrated letter from a good friend, who is encouraging me to join her in her love of nature and creating. The art work is superb of course, as I expected, since I already own several of her books, and recently took one of her wonderful Online Classes...and she has been drawing and painting for her whole life...but I also found much more in it than artwork. She not only shares many, many, many valuable techniques and tips...but they seem unique to her charming way of helping us out with some of the little things that become big things when you dont know how to deal with them. And she adds so many details and makes them all so interesting!
Her 'personal relationship' with nature pulls the reader and artist into a close connection with creation and creating.
It is a book for everyone...beginning and professional artists as well as all who appreciate nature.
For me this is her best book....so far...:)

About 124 pages of color (water color) reproduction pictures, beautifully done.
The font used is nice however, it is about a 9 or 10 and it should be larger, so that you can glance back at the page for instructions or comments to read quickly and not have to focus in and interfere with your project.
Looks like this book is about in its 12th printing.

Well illustrated with lots of examples that support the generous text. Lots of tips and tricks to master, things to consider and have awareness of, and ideas to try. Much here for the beginner to the more advanced. Written in an inviting style.

TRULY A BEAUTIFUL INSPIRATIONAL BOOK WITH CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS MAKING REPRODUCING THE EXAMPLES AND DEMONSTRATIONS SUCCESSFUL; BUT THE SMALLISH ARTSY FONT USED FOR MOST OF THE TEXT DOES IMPEDE READING..

True to other reviews, this book is very well put together and worth owning.
