Urban Watercolor Sketching: A Guide to Drawing, Painting, and Storytelling in Color
by Felix Scheinberger
Equal parts theory, history, technique/tips, advice, encouragement, and delightful, often humorous, illustrations. Felix Scheinberger has an inimitable and sophisticated style yet he also has the soul of a teacher, and manages to appeal to the beginner probably as much as an advanced painter. There is nothing traditional about his approach to watercolor, so if you're looking for pastel landscapes and pretty flowers you'll be disappointed. He uses watercolor to add color to his drawings, and encourages minimalism in this regard. He advises the reader to draw subjects, including mundane things, that matter to you personally because they will have more meaning when you look back on them.
