Watercolor Your Way meets you right where you are with watercolor. Whether you're dipping your toe in, cannon-balling in, or honing your craft-this book is for you.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Presented in four chapters that each focus on a specific technique, palette, and set of projects, Watercolor Your Way meets artists at their current level so they can enjoy the process as they build skills.

Written and illustrated by artist Sarah Cray, co-founder of the art education platform Let's Make Art, Watercolor Your Way is designed to inform and guide you at your current skill level. Each of the four chapters focuses on different techniques and supplies, building on each other so you can bring your watercolour art to the next level. Instead of presenting everything about paints, colour mixing, and techniques all at once, it's offered in four small instalments, with frequently asked questions, pro tips, and projects geared toward where you are on your artistic path. This approach helps you get to the fun partโ€”creating with watercolourโ€”faster!

For Those Just Starting Out: Focuses on just three fundamental elements: shape, the wet-on-wet technique, and primary colours.

Building Confidence and Skill: Spotlights creating value and form with watercolour.

Finessing and Enhancing: Centres on adding detailed lines and backgrounds, and adjusting values by hue.

Finding Your Style: Presents a process of how to develop a style that's uniquely yours.

With Watercolor Your Way, you can explore watercolour the way you've always wanted to, with expert instruction on a wide range of exciting techniques, themes, and colour palettes that fit your needs as an artist.
