Easy to follow book for water colr painting of anture. Starts with simple things and moves onto birds and animals. The subjects chosen are engaging. The progress in the steps is not too intimidating. Enjoy painting.

A great book for beginners with easy-to-follow steps for painting a variety of objects from nature, such as leaves, ferns, flowers, stones, and even a few animals. At the start of the book, the author explains the different techniques needed for various effects, and the materials required.

The narrative is simple and chatty, and each step is clearly explained so that anyone can follow, with some handy hints as well. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to learn the basics of how to use watercolours.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a beautiful guide to painting!

But as a beginner it's also very intimidating. There's helpful information about sketching and adding details to identify and paint nature. A lot of the step-by-step pictures are high level and require a level of skill to replicate, so it can be hard to approach. That being said there are nice tips and lots of examples. There are guides to individual plants but not really steps showing how to combine them for a scene. There's also a lot of jungle flora and fauna when I was hoping for more forests.

Overall it's a good book for people who are already confident with their watercolor skills.

This is a nice guidebook. I gives broken down instructions on how to paint in watercolor specific items found in nature, usually in 3-5 steps. Like all similar books it includes a beginning section on tools and paint colors. Some of the compositions shown with the elements you create were pretty great, and with the book made me feel like i could create something similar.

Beautiful, can't wait to put this into practice. Tons of info on different watercolour techniques that I hadn't even heard of before this book!

This is an absolutely fantastic resource and instructional book for nature painting in watercolor! The artwork is simply beautiful and the steps are straightforward, detailed and easy to understand. Each project includes an overview of needed materials, techniques, and a variety of tips to successfully complete the projects.

I can’t recommend this book enough for anyone who loves watercolor especially any artist wanting to enhance their skills. This would make the perfect gift for any aspiring artist.

A gorgeous and wonderful instructional book for nature painting in watercolor! This book gives a straightforward, but detailed overview from needed materials, techniques, and a variety of amazing projects. Stunning, colorful, step-by-step paintings accompany all of the projects. Each chapter focuses on a different element of nature including: flowers, trees, birds, etc. A perfect guide for watercolor artists looking to sharpen their skills!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

Lovely leaves, blossoms, trees and forest creatures are the main subject for this book. The projects are easy and I think beginners would enjoy this book! It’s amazing to watch watercolor blend and seep, and this artist uses that to her advantage with the simple floral and fauna included here. I wish she had a few more examples of how she uses the individual items in her illustrations as a whole, but maybe that will be saved for another book.
