Combining watercolor drawing is not only a practical exercise in artistic mastery but also an intellectual and imaginative one. Dr. István Balogh's book is an excellent guide to penetrating the precise and fantastic realm between watercolor and architectural drawing.

Architectural drawing accompanied and enhanced by watercolor forms a subtle artistic duo: the drawing and the color in wash do not merge but only harmonize, like partners in the rhythm of a dance. It is the undeniable merit of Dr. István Balogh's book to capture step by step this visual dance, in which the rigor of drawing intertwines with the playful freshness of watercolors, both allowing light to penetrate deeply into the image – so that it may be transfigured.
