This book takes you through simple steps to build your skills with watercolor. Starting with what type of paper and brushes to buy, and then moving on to the intensity and value of the paint colors, you will learn how to blend and build texture as you paint.

There is a section on color theory with simple color wheels and descriptions of hue, tint, tone, and shade. Then there are examples of how you can create different effects by manipulating the colors you use.

The daily exercises are simple enough that there is lots of room for personal creativity, but also challenging in developing skills like creating depth and texture. You learn to paint in layers of light and dark, and think carefully about the perspective and composition. There are exercises to paint objects, landscapes, architecture, and portraits.

The author tells personal anecdotes about what inspires her when she is painting, along with stories that encourage the reader to keep improving your skills and keep trying even when your art doesn't turn out quite how you had hoped. This inspiring book embraces creativity and wild imagination!
