As nature love blooms, discover the beginner basics of watercolour art techniques through painting nature's wildlife and habitats.

Discover your inner artist - and emotional relationship to nature - in this striking, life-affirming project book on watercolour art from Inga Buividavice. Experience how the practical medium of painting in watercolour can connect us to inner and outer nature, and be freeing, joyful and wild!

Each step-by-step project introduces a new watercolour technique. Learn about colour principles by painting chameleons and beetles; explore textures through the fluffy fur of a red panda; create patterns from the lines of a butterfly's wing; and make shapes like a koi fish.

With mindful reflections on the meditative benefits of watercolour, Inga encourages you to experiment and develop your practice, all whilst taking inspiration from the world around you.
