I've been taught by Nathan. I think that he's as good at teaching as he is at painting. This book does exactly what it says on the cover--highly recommended.
A fair and detailed review of the book, too--good as always.
I took his course in Schoolism and it was so valuable! He is a great teacher.
Really!?!? I'm so tempted to buy but can you tell me more about Nathan?(more like a bit of convincing since I do plan to buy his class but no pressure!)
I went to a weekend workshop of Nathan Fowkes at LAAFA (Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art) a couple of years back for Figure, lighting and color with Watercolors and watching him paint live and being lucky for him to critique my paintings was awesome. He is modern master and it’s great to see him finally publish a watercolor landscape book!
I am currently watching the gouache and landscape painting course on Schoolism by Nathan Fowkes. a good amount of material in that book seems to be also used here, so I think its a great companion piece to have handy. im tempted to get it! Its a great course and Im learning a lot even as an amateur painter
Also watched a video on TH-cam recently where Nathan explains how he fell very ill for a whole year and he couldn't paint or even speak, and he used that time leading up to his surgery to layout and publish a book! I have a strong feeling its this book, and it goes to show even how impressive and dedicated he is as an artist!
Thank you for sharing this book. I was looking into buying this book. I have a pretty extensive library of watercolor and drawing books. While I’ve learned a lot from many of my books once in a while I am disappointed due to lack of instructions on how to achieve the essence of the artwork by the artist. Some are just glorified picture books of the artists paintings. Worse yet are the books without color pages! I really appreciate what you do. A long time fan of your TH-cam channel from Arizona, USA 🌵🌞🌵
This book looks like it will join the ranks of Gurney's Color and Light as one of the 'bibles' of observational painting.
Gurney mentions this book and Fowkes on his website.
This is a beautiful book, I have this one and we also have his drawing portraits in charcoal book as well which is really amazing. Really cool guy.
Wow! He captures light so well. Never heard of him before but I'll definitely check out his blog now cause I love his use of colours.
Really interesting! Books like these I can just happily flick through for hours!
Thank you for doing this book review so quietly, thoroughly and putting into words what I also would say about Ann’s books. Definitely am going to buy it😍
I can attest, this is an excellent book!
Thank you for sharing and reviewing this wonderful book! I’m off to order to order it :)
It looks very interesting. I just started drawing & watercolor. The book is definitely helpful. Thanks for the tip, Teoh.🙂
I love this book, it is really for intermediate level. It is very useful reference book to have
thanks for the review I have been considering buying the book..now i see it will be a good investment
Looks like a pretty neat book, very informational like the texts
Looks like a great book!
yes...great recommendation...awesome book Thanks
So beautiful...
Just ordered the book before I saw your review.
This looks like an excellent book.
Ordered the book today😊
Thank YOU very much for the great book i buy it and i am very happy about that 🎨🎨😊💪🌞 very best regards from Salzburg Austria my friend 🏵🌼😊🎨🎨🎨🎨
I definitely am interested in this book, I have been wanting to practice more painting with light and color. I am also interested in mixing gouache and watercolor, and I think this would make a great addition to my reference collection.
such pretty book. I really want to try gouache, but as a beginner, it seems like it might be "cheating" when I don't even really know what watercolor can do. I think I lean more towards landscapes and nature than city scenes, but your Urban sketching is also very interesting because there is a lot more perspective and vanishing points there. Maybe not, but it seems more obvious.
Aaaah! If only I can buy this here in my country :(( lovely video as always teoh! 💙💙
You can order from Book Depository
@@teohyc oh, thank you!
Ooh! Looks like a great book! I believe he actually also has a youtube channel fyi ;)
I've got a question, Teoh. If I only use watercolours and not gouache (or if the only gouache I use is white for highlights), would I gain anything from reading this book? Some of those paintings where the cool or warm underpainting sets the temperature for the finished painting are tempting me to part with some cash.
Those underpainting techniques apply to gouache. Much of the book is on gouache.
@@teohyc Sort of - the only gouache he uses is white. He does mix that white into watercolours which does lose the transparency of "pure" watercolour. Its a similar technique to James Guerney. It just depends how you feel about using white.
@@wilfreeborn1 Oh ok cool...I already have watercolor paint so I just need one tube of white gouache to follow along with this book right?
@@toddmargaret991 yes, thats correct.
@@wilfreeborn1 Cool thank you
You can also buy it from bookshop.org.
hey teoh can you tell me something about the durability of an ipad?
im spending 600 euros for an ipad 7 and apple pencil but i heard some really critical stuff about the durability so now im concerned about it...
may you help me figure out this doubth?
do i need to worry about the ipad durability? is going to last some years before is going to stop working or getting slow in a short ammount of time?
Why is the iPad 7 so expensive? 600 Euros? You can buy it directly from Apple's website or store for less. iPad is durable. No problem. Or check out the refurbished section on Apple's website where prices are around 15% off. You can use the savings to buy additional Applecare if needed. I read in Europe there is 2 years standard warranty that already comes with the product.
I have started reading this book, and became a bit frustrated rather quickly because of this: He promotes location painting with minimal supplies, then in the next breath starts adding masking to his paintings, with no explanation as to how he manages it in the field. I agree that his work is lovely and interesting, but actual instruction seems rather minimal so far. I’m hoping for more out of it as I wade farther in and try his methods.
