I wasn't super wild about the painting style and a lot of the projects in this book, but it is very accessible and easy to follow and I did really enjoy other projects like the flowers.

The author gives information to help even absolute beginners do watercolors. You follow along with her painting projects of things like a bowl of fruit, a gathering of painting supplies, or jewelry on a dresser. First you lightly sketch them and then you paint them in, in order. I personally prefer to paint without sketching in pencil first. I was confused by one of the step-by-step photos because it shows you to paint in the fruit and then on the next photo there is a red and white flower painted over an orange where it's obvious the space of the flower should have been left unpainted (for white you leave no paint, since you can't paint with white over orange). I suspect the author did multiple paintings for the steps and just used one where she forgot to leave room for the flower but if you follow that step you won't be able to do the next one as is.

This is a very good book if you like "follow me" kind of tutorials. Hack also does give you information to do some on your own. My favorite section was the end where multiple flowers are shown like dahlias and asters.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

This is a thoroughly charming guide to watercolor! I found this to be a lovely read, with wonderful illustrations and tips for becoming a better watercolorist. I'm nowhere near artistic, but this was a fun read and I enjoyed practicing my painting with this as a guide. I'd recommend to anyone who has ever considered the medium of watercolor before.

Watercolor Painting at Home provides good technique and fun lessons for artist new to watercolor painting. The exercises and examples are great inspiration. Guidance on letting the brush work for the artist is especially helpful. A well-designed book that is enjoyable to read and easy to follow.

Really enjoy the techniques that were shown here. I’ve always thought watercolour is too scary to try but the author gave step by step instructions for different types of pictures that were easy to follow. I only wish the book was longer!

This was a fun read. Material was presented so that you can reference the techniques but also make it your own. Painting concepts were easy to understand. Great book for creative people, but I found myself hoping for more practice techniques for gradient, wet on wet, etc.

This is an utterly gorgeous and inspiring book.

Watercolor Painting at Home is a wonderful guide to finding the beauty in the day to day of your life and painting it. I love the idea of painting our collection of glass bottles that I refashioned to use as kitchen herb planters, or my Kindle or one our cats sleeping next to my mug of tea with a cookie, that concept takes the majority of my stress - my desire to paint with watercolors but my weird anxious worrying about what to paint and then not painting at all because I can’t think of anything to paint. This reminds me to go outside in our yard and look at the spring flowers that have begun blooming about, or take a look at my unorganized bookshelves and try to paint the charm of those perfect imperfections of our lives.

The book itself is beautiful. Wonderfully whimsical paintings abound in these pages and I found myself just wanting to start painting again. I can’t give it high enough praise for that.

I loved the inclusion of craft ideas for your paintings at the end.

This is an absolute recommendation.

Watercolour painting at home is very useful book tells you what equipment you need colour scheme and even goes through step by step how to pain certain pictures in the book. I like how there is lots of pictures and a bit of writing which breaks it all up. The book is very colourful and useful for people who are interested in water-colouring.
Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this book.
