32 pages

Have you always been captivated by the luminous beauty of watercolor but felt too intimidated to try? This workbook is your gentle introduction to the enchanting world of this fluid medium. Designed for absolute beginners and those who’ve had less-than-stellar experiences in the past with watercolor, it welcomes everyone, regardless of artistic background.

Whether you're a complete novice or a seasoned artist seeking a fresh perspective, you'll find a supportive and encouraging space within these pages.

My goal is simple: to help you understand how watercolor behaves and, more importantly, how to work with it. Forget the notion of rigid control. Instead, we'll explore the unique, often unpredictable, nature of watercolor and learn to harness its inherent beauty.

This workbook is centered around building a collaborative relationship with the medium, guiding you to create understated, yet stunning, works of art.

Dive in, relax, and discover the joy of watercolor. It's not about perfection; it's about embracing the flow and finding beauty in the unexpected. Let the magic unfold, one brushstroke at a time.

NB This workbook was originally prepared for a four hour, in person workshop. It was, however, written with the intent to be a standalone resource. There may be occasional allusions to the workshop in the text; these can safely be ignored. Alternatively, you can use them to facilitate your own workshop.
