Interactive and encouraging, this art book combines detailed instructions with an innovative color wheel on the front, making it perfect for beginners working with watercolors. A spin of the wheel instantly shows what shade would result from mixing two watercolors, allowing painters to determine a color palette before embarking on an activity. This creative manual presents a series of eight projects that teach the most impressive watercolor techniques such as laying flat, lifting off, masking out, sponging, and working wet-in-wet and wet-in-dry. A series of finished watercolor works are also presented, giving readers a visual picture of the high-quality art that they can achieve.
