Ratings and reviews

Mako is so genuine and empathetic with the newbie as well as the more seasoned student of watercolor. It was a real joy to work through this book, chapter by chapter and project by project. I highly recommend this book and it's fresh approach to any student of the watercolor medium and especially for those who may have given watercolor a shot and just gave up out of frustration and overwhelm. I say, give watercolor another try - with the right instructor (one who has been there, done that, and discovered an authentic voice and process "for whatever ails you").

very helpful it's the best watercolour e-book I have ever read. really helpful for beginners.
