Watercolor Boot Camp

In this all-in-one guide to watercolour, artist and author of Watercolor Wanderlust, Hannah M. Pickerill, gives readers all the tools they need to quickly and easily build their painting prowess. In 30 lessons that intuitively build from art essentials to advanced and experimental techniques, Hannah ensures that readers have the understanding necessary to create fantastic paintings.

Each of the 30 lessons in her book is followed by a step-by-step exercise (or two), allowing readers to immediately practise what they have learned. These lessons cover exactly what an artist needs to know, from overarching topics like colour theory, composition, and perspective to more specific application techniques, like unique brush strokes, capturing light and reflections, and embracing the transparency unique to watercolour. Each exercise can be completed in about 30 minutes, ensuring that readers can quickly utilise their newfound painting tool-belt while also creating a diverse portfolio of standalone subjects, atmospheric landscapes, abstract zentangles, mixed-media watercolour collages, and more.

With easy-to-digest lessons and quick-to-complete exercises, this book gives readers everything they need not only to develop their watercolour skills and create a portfolio of 42 paintings; it also teaches them the universal skills necessary to continue creating on their own.

This book will have 42 exercises with accompanying beauty and step-by-step photographs.
