Watercolor For The First Time

It doesn’t take years of art lessons to create beautiful watercolors: this fabulous entry in the For the First Time series can guide beginners to success. Featuring a wonderfully lucid question-and-answer format, it addresses all of the basics and some advanced techniques too. Generously-sized photographs and illustrations clearly showcase every exciting procedureincluding how to use basic and controlled washes; add detail to an image; and work in black and white. Best of all, as novices master the different skills, they’re also producing finished pieces that will leave them feeling proud and motivated to do more: lovely seashells, vivid autumn leaves, a single lily. And because watercolors aren’t just for framed art, there are also projects for stationery, cards, journal entries, and bookmarks.

Highly recommendeda foundation course in a playful exploratory style.”Library Journal
