Fill Your Watercolor With Natures Light: Features Masking, Pouring & Spatering Techniques by Roland Roycraft

I don’t like this book, the description is rather vague.  The author’s 4-step method is as written in the title “masking, pouring, spattering, brushing”. It sounds simple enough as description, but not when you try to paint your own landscape (honestly, I have not tried this method, simply that this book doesn’t even get me excited to try it out). As a side note, I dislike masking liquid.

Atmosphere, Mood And Light: Paint a Watercolour Landscape in Minutes
by Keith Fenwick

cookbook style but extremely poorly written. A total lack of instruction, basically there is no work-in-progress photo. I don’t like the style of the author’s painting, which is too realistic for my taste but too unrealistic to be realistic.
