This book has lots of beautiful examples of images produced with water-based paint, and discussion of technique including various exercises. Also sections on the different types of paint with pros and cons. It bit more in-depth than I needed or wanted, being a brand-new amateur, but it would be good for someone who wasn't an expert, but was wanting to level up their ability and knowledge.
Watermedia Painting with Stephen Quiller: The Complete Guide to Working in Watercolor, Acrylics, Gouache, and Casein by Stephen Quiller
Though I'm not interested in working in gouache or casein, I enjoyed the parts about acrylic and watercolor. He only shared a little bit about his techniques and only some tiny exercises (would have liked more how-to) but I did appreciate the information about color. His paintings are inspirational and I really like his use of luminous color.
Controlling the palette and the effects produced. Many examples. Also a color wheel for paint choices - good for both acrylic and watercolor.
Many exciting possibilities. Triads etc.
Also very good and comprehensive is : "Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter" by James Gurney.
Not an instructional book but many examples of color control and lighting are in "The Fantasy Art Techniques Of Tim Hildebrandt",
