• Watercolor Class
  This book, Charles Reid, author, entitled "Watercolor Secrets" was picked by an instructor at Washburn University for a class on watercolor. I am taking the class and find the book weak on instructions, but good in presenting the
  variety of work this artist has done. It certainly could be written in a more instructional style.

• Charles Reid's Watercolor Secrets
  Charles Reid is a wonderful artist. I enjoyed reading the book but it falls short as an instruction manual as it is very difficult to understand from the text and illustrations how Charles actually achieves his very loose wet in wet effects.

• Just plain great
  This book is not intented to deliver technical help. It's a book full of tips
  & tricks about general aspect of Mr. Reid approach to painting, with
  differents conditions and subject. It's a great bed time reading.

• Just an excuse for another book
  The title of this book is rather misleading. I had thought I was going to get some real expert tips on watercolor painting but instead this book is just a reprinting of the artist's watercolor "NOTEBOOKS" with VERY little in the way of useable and tangible tips about painting in watercolor. The book is slender, sparsely laid-out and over-priced at that. It struck me as just an excuse for a book with a cleverly disguised title to market and sell it (everyone wants the "secrets", right?) . Save your money!
