This is a great teaching tool. I loved that it gave step by step instructions for a project and then also gave examples of variations on the project. So you could pick up the technique, but also know that variations just create individualized beauty.

A beautiful and inspiring book that is for anyone who would like to have a go at watercolour painting. No matter what your ability, this book is for you and not just for the gifted and talented. There are no expectations of greatness or rules and regulations only the promise that it will be fun playing with paint, paper and a brush. The idea is that you create in a spontaneous and intuitive way.
There is a chapter on materials followed by 21 lessons. The lessons are not intended to follow on from each other, but can be worked through in any order. The emphasis is on exploration and enjoyment and using painting as a meditative ritual. Each lesson is broken down into a series of steps accompanied by photos. There is also a student gallery, illustrating the various interpretations of each lesson.
A great book for anyone who feels they lack confidence and talent but would like to be creative in their own way.

A really neat instructional book on process art in the medium of watercolor painting. In process art, the creation process is more important than what is ultimately made. 'Watercolor Is for Everyone' focused somewhat on the meditative and spiritual benefits of water color painting with tons of project ideas to try and beautiful photography. This would be a great book for hobbyists looking to pursue a creative and relaxing hobby.

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for providing this ARC.
