Editorial Reviews
"Smith Jones has written the perfect introduction to water colors for the mixed-media enthusiast who wants a step-by-step approach, and she provides beautiful examples...If the beautiful watercolor examples by Smith Jones are not enough visual eye candy, you'll find more in the Gallery, with work from 11 talented artists." - Jenn Mason, "in the mix: now read this", Cloth Paper Scissors, March/April 2011
"Studio artist Smith Jones presents a new kind of art how-to book, in which she tackles many of the intangibles of the creative process but from a practical point of view. She is not constrained by any one medium, and she encourages readers to stretch beyond their boundaries. Various drawing, watercolor, and collage materials, as well as different methods, subject matters, and ways to display completed work, are discussed. This book will appeal to artists who want to rekindle their creative spirit, and it could inspire hobbyists and scrapbookers to take a next step." - Library Journal, February 2011
"Water Paper Paint by Heather Smith Jones is a groundbreaking book that shows people like me that watercolors can be used to achieve success in projects big and small. There are 30 projects in all, where with each one, we learn how to work in unique ways, as we gain insight about how the elements of water, paper, and paint relate to one another. We learn to leverage these insights to create magnificent effects." - excerpt from a review by Jenny Doh
