SynopsisAimed at newcomers to the medium, this book takes a free approach to watercolour painting, letting readers explore at their own pace. By not stressing the technical aspects of the medium, the author guides beginners in learning the language of colour and imagery in their own way.
Due to arthritis I can no longer take part in crafts I have enjoyed for years: rug hooking, silversmithing, knitting, etc. So... I decided that watercolor would be gentler on my wrists. However, I had to learn how to do it. Most books I have taken out of the library were too technical or maybe my mind just didn't jibe with them.
This book was perfect for me!!! I was able and willing to do the exercises and in no time was producing pictures that were acceptable to me. I returned the book to the library and bought this one just for ME!!! Love it and recommend it! I am attaching my first watercolor which was a gift to a friend who took me up in his powered parachute!!
