author makes it fun
One of the best things about this book, is that Ms. Black has a contagious sense of fun. She focuses on spontaneity rather than rigid outcome. She leads a reader through a series of techniques (sorry for the over-used word) that help discourage intellectual interference. Great book for doing, in addition to reading about, the craft. I go back to this book time and time again.

awesome!
This book really gets me going. I'm a beginner in painting 'cause I use different art media. But this book made it really easy for me to start in painting. I like EJ Black's ideas and techniques. Really good for beginners and act like a pro. I highly recommend this book for infantren and beginning adults!

Simply Inspiring!
This book has been a truly wonderful find! I enjoy the creative process, but watercolor has never been my strong suit. I purchased this book just a few days ago, and have already created several pieces of art that amaze even me! My intention in buying this book was less to make cards (though that's something I've long done) but more to use Elizabeth Joan Black's techniques in hopes of finding a new creative outlet. I definitely got that and more. Her book gives wonderful details, with colorful pictures that would help anyone achieve results they would be pleased with. I highly recommend this book for the novice to the experienced. It really is inspiring!
