This book came at the right time as my 2024 goal is to explore watercolor, zentangles and mixed media art. I loved flipping through this book and grabbing my journal to give these exercises a try. Informative, without going too in depth.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

This is such a cool book! I've always wanted to get into watercolor, but at the same time I've always thought it was rather boring. This book is full of ideas for fun and funky textures that I never would have thought of on my own. The first half is full of texture samples. I love all the designs and am now itching to pull out my paints and create some texture samples of my own.

The second half takes those texture samples and shows how you can put them together to create a finished piece. Again, I'm so glad I have this guide because it would never have occurred to me to put them together in such a way. But now I'm bursting with ideas.

This is a great book for getting creative juices flowing and getting you excited about experimenting with watercolor. I think it would be good for beginners and those with more experience to help them shake up their technique and inject some fun.

*Thanks to NetGalley, Quarto, and Quarry Books for providing an early copy for review.

This is a beautiful and practical book. Excellent for beginners or those who want to learn how to control paint. The projects are easy to follow and truly beautiful. There are templates for those not confident in drawing. My review is based on a prepublication edition from NetGalley. I will be buying my own hard copy on publication it’s inspired me that much.

As someone new to watercolour, having only dabbled before, this is a brilliant resource. Whilst I myself found it useful, I think proficient water colour artists would also find it a useful resource to refer to and be inspired by, albeit may find it too brief to gain huge amounts from.

So many good images about watercolor. This book is great for beginners all the way to experienced painters. Many great resources in this book. I love the templates at the end.
