Description
The Watercolor Artist’s Guide to Exceptional Color was written by Jan Hart and published by Walter Foster Publishing in 2007. It was an immediate popular success among watercolor painters because it talked about pigments and paints in addition to color and color relationships. It filled a much needed niche. After three re-printings, the publisher declined to re-print and it is now only available through resellers such as amazon.com and others. With 63 customer reviews, it has kept its 4.6 rating for 10 years. Its availability and its pricing varies continually through amazon.
Jan offers a pdf ebook online version of her book at an affordable price. $34.95 through PayPal.
- Upon receipt of your order, you will receive a personal email from Jan that contains the link for your order, usually within a day. All you need to do is click on the link to open and download the pdf. The link is yours to keep so you can re-read as you choose.

Someone lent me your book and I absolutely LOVE it! Unfortunately, it’s sold out everywhere. Is there a chance for it to be printed again? I would really like to have it since I only got to borrow it for a short amount of time ;( and I have a low vision and sensitive eyes so looking at a screen for long periods of time hurts my eyes, so the pdf version does not suit me.

Hello Zaira, I am so sorry but there is absolutely no chance it will be reprinted despite a lot of requests for it. The best thing to do, which I have done, is to go to Amazon.com and see if there are resellers offering it. The lowest price I have seen is about $50, but it does come up now and then for that price. I do offer the pdf version through my website, janhart.com – but understand that you might not want to look at a screen. Thanks for your question and for your comment! Jan

Thank you for the information. The price varies considerably and about the lowest I’ve seen it in the US. is $55 for a used copy. I recommend that people check back over time with Amazon or consider my pdf version for $30 USD.

Hi, Sabina, I sent you an email which I trust you have received – with the link. Thank you for the purchase and I hope you enjoy it!

Jan, you have included such a wealth of information on colour and watercolour paints that it should be required reading for every aspiring artist. I appreciate the time and effort it took to put it all together. This is definitely one the best investments I’ve made in art books.
