When my wife and I were on vacation in Maine I bought this used book, titled David Curtis: The Landscape in Watercolour. It cost eight dollars and is one of the best books I have in my watercolor library. Curtis offers no nonsense advise on working in watercolor from his years of experience painting.
I had just left the Farnsworth Art Museum at the end of the day in Rockland, Maine. It occurred to me there might still be an art store in business on the main drag. I got in the store before it closed for the day. I didn't realized they had such an excellent collection of used art books.
David Curtis is also accomplished in painting oils, so I purchased another book he had in the art store for under eight dollars, too. It is titled A Light Touch: Painting Landscapes in Oils. Both books are hard backs.
You never know what you will find when traveling.
