Learn how to paint landscapes, people, still lifes & more

256 pages

 

Absolutely breathtaking illustrations of watercolor techniques! The book is well organized for reference describing the basics followed by chapters for beginners, intermediate and advanced. Then, the book focuses on subjects to paint such as landscapes, still lifes, people, colors/shapes, animals and flowers. 

 

I have basic experience with watercolors and found this book to be incredibly encouraging. My first class in this media had me intimidated when the teacher said it was one of the more difficult media to master. My father and daughter prefer acrylic, oil, etc. but I must admit that I find watercolors rather soothing and forgiving. 

 

I would recommend this book alone just for the beautiful art inside the book! A fantastic edition to any artists library. 

 

I received a complimentary digital copy of this arc book from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an unbiased review.
