Very Nifty
This book has a lot of very nice pictures in it that show amazing design elements. I disliked how often the author sidetracked into symbology and history, but the parts actually about watercolor were well done. Great book for referencing style.
what a dissapiontment
when i ordered this book i was hoping for a book that would help me put the beauty of traditional celtic art into my fantasy paintings. boy was i dissapionted. there was barely any true celtic art in the book and what was there lacked the beauty inharent in true celtic art. run away from this book. don't make my mistake and buy the thing.
