Good beginner’s guide with exercises to experiment with, for watercolor and acrylics. It didn’t overly appeal to me, but it may be just the thing for other readers,



Thank you to Quarry Books and NetGalley for the PDF

A helpful guide to experimenting with media and techniques. Perfect for the absolute beginner who doesn't know where to begin.

Making time for creativity is one of my go-to self-care activities. This book is a must for all ages. It's a great way to be inspired and get those artistic vibes flowing. There are so many fun techniques that make the act of painting more enjoyable than the final product.

Start Here: Paint is an ideal gift for beginner and intermediate artists who want to play with watercolors. Examples and project range from a simple butterfly to more advanced and detailed butterfly paintings. Instructions for florals and landscapes are included. The chapter on creating shadow is especially helpful because many watercolor painting guides do not include information on how to paint in black, white, and grey. The instructions for all the projects are easy to follow. Highly recommended for library collections.

This is a guide for watercolour and acrylic paints, although, you can implement some of the tips, or try some of the exercises using other kinds of paint.
It is a beginner’s book, yet, there are enough fresh and interesting patterns or exercises to try for more experienced artists. A fun book for those who are picking up painting after some gap as well.

I do enjoy to paint, and though I practice with watercolors often I would still consider myself a beginner, there were definitely some helpful tips in here and I'm excited to apply them and go paint!
