Praise for fellow series title, The Colour Mixing Guide: Watercolour Botanicals:

'Why so happy? Because it's so good. Where previous guides of this type (all of them) have gone for quantity, this very much goes for quality and relevance. I'd class this as pretty much a must-have.' – Henry Malt, artbookreview.net
