Great for beginners and equally wonderful for more experienced artists, this offers a cool concept. I have improved my game and made a note to purchase this book. This book will help me create unique gifts for my loved ones.

Such a beautiful introduction to painting flowers and butterflies with watercolor. This is a beginner-friendly guidebook with the inclusion of watercolor pad and templates, so there is no need to trace or sketch in order to create beautiful artwork.

Importantly it offers the necessary basics at the beginning of the book, including various watercolor painting techniques, color theory and layering. The step-by-step tutorials are laid-out well and easy-to-follow. I appreciate the addition to video tutorials (linked via QR codes) to provide additional guidance, as necessary.

This book would make a fantastic gift for anyone who is interested in developing their watercolor painting skills.

Many thanks Walter Foster Publishing, Chithra Shaan and NetGalley for the digital review copy, for review consideration.

Although this was quite beautiful and had a lot of illustrations, I don't think it was definitive enough for a beginner. The book seems to assume a knowledge of drawing, Although the title says "no-sketch", the step by step to take you into the painting did not feel adequate to me, The paint steps were to show the different colors that would be layered on to create the final product. The color palette charts and recipes were helpful in showing you how to mix the proper colors.

This is a great book for anyone who wants to learn to paint with watercolors. There are so many detailed steps of how to paint the butterflies and flowers, as well as color guides and a lot of good reference information. I’m going to order the hard copy of this when it comes out so I can paint in the book (I believe there are watercolor pages in the book). It’s also just a gorgeous book - the images are stunning and I can’t wait to get to painting!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book.

Unfortunately there was an error, which showed a lot of the pages in the negative.

This was a beautiful informative book. I had trouble seeing every page and all images. Not sure if it was the file that downloaded or not.

This book had so much value. You learned WAY more than just how to paint butterflies and flowers. I also appreciated the step by step help because as a visual learner, it’s how I digest information the quickest.
