DESCRIPTION:
Great book to start waterpainting! D. DuBord I purchased this book for my 12 year old daughter. She wanted to get into water painting. She likes the book very much. Easy to follow instructions and tips. She has painted several items from the book. She feels this book give her a good start on water painting. Very pleased with the book. There are some of her waterpaintings from the book included with this review.. LibbyLA said Gorgeous book with excellent instructions for developing quick, loose watercolor skills. This beautiful, inspirational book is exactly what I've been looking for! I'm not a journaling person, but I became intrigued by watercolor sketching after reading several Cloth Paper Scissors magazine articles by various contributors. I really liked the idea of small studies that captured the essence of whatever you're painting without trying to make it absolutely realistic. My detail-oriented, perfectionist nature gets in the way of me loosening up and just enjoying the fr. It's an easy to follow I'm so excited! I got this book in the mail yesterday (thank you, Amazon!) and already have been diving in and loving it!I am an acrylic artist and I struggle big time with water color. But now, even though I've only gotten to page 38, I'm already playing with my water color set, discovering new techniques, and an ease with my brush that I didn't have before.It's an easy to follow, beautifully illustrated workbook for learners like me!
