Reviews from Art Editors & Professionals:
Review from the May 1995 issue of The Artist's Magazine...
Practical, yet inspirational to the most timid of beginning artists, Ascone does a remarkable job merging such basic methodology as, "It has been said that one must paint a hundred watercolors before one feels comfortable with the medium. This is no exaggeration," with unflagging encouragement to do so. There's something immediately down-to-earth about a teacher who uses a cotton diaper as her primary absorbent material. Thorough definitions and explanations are given of watercoloring terms, equipment basics, and initial techniques. Black-and-white, step-by-step instruction of eight simple projects are supported by full color plates. End chapters, "Allowing the Playful Self to Emerge" and "Painting On Your Own," are especially strong echoing Ascone's philosophy that we are all innately artistic. "...Her book is encouraging, reassuring and fun...you can create her paintings step-by-step, such subjects as birch in winter, the Aurora, coastal cliffs, wild iris and snow-covered peaks...Sponges and even toothbrushes are brought into play..." - Small Press Review
"...so darn good... it takes you gently by the hand..." -
Book Talk
"...demystifies
the artistic process and inspires confidence and enthusiasm..."
- Bookpaper
