Barbara Parish is the author of Watercolor - Meet the Brushes
                                                  Watercolor - Value to Color Parallel


​Watercolor - Meet The Brushes
Create The Stroke and Control The Flow

If you are just starting to paint with watercolor, this reference book will explain the strokes each brush was made to do. Examples show how to hold a brush in different positions to create varied strokes, work with water, keep your brush clean, and how to store a dry brush. Introducing the most important tool in your painting gear, the
Watercolor Brush. Choosing the right brush type to create a specific stroke is your first step in learning to paint. To get started, I selected five basic watercolor brushes, Round, Flat, Rigger, Fan, and Mop. Learn about brush types, hair choice, and brush care. A step-by-step paint along is included to help you practice with each brush type.
