Where to find eBooks about painting

‘Print is dead.’ — Dr. Egon Spengler, 1984

Books are heavy.  They require a lot of space to store them.  Sometimes I misplace them.   The book I need is always the one I can’t find!

The solution?  eBooks 

Kindle Unlimited — Kindle has a huge number of digital books about watercolor, including both instructional books and collections of paintings. In the Kindle app, just search for watercolor, watercolour, gouache, drawing, etc.  eBooks can also be downloaded to the Kindle app for reading offline.   For a small monthly subscription fee, I can have access to 10 books at a time.

Here are the titles currently in my Kindle Unlimited library:

  • Still Life in Watercolor by Alejandra Viscarra
  • Color Wheel Guide by Debra J. Tillman
  • Watercolour Demonstrations by Milind Mulick
  • Drawing for Beginners by Kate Berry
  • Gouache Landscape Step-by-Step Technique by Sirbalo Publishing

As I finish reading one, I exchange for another.   This is a very economical way to have access to many, many books!  (They also have other books besides art, like COOKBOOKS!  Who loves to cook?  I do!)
