Easy Watercolor : Learn to Express Yourself

Named one of Booklist's Top Ten Craft and Hobby Books!"Beginners eager to try their hand should take Moses as their tutor. She sensitively guides readers through a complete starter course [and] discusses color and various time-honored techniques. Readers are then directed step-by-step through a series of projects. Beautifully designed...An excellent place to start."--BooklistArtist Marcia Moses brings knowledge, conviction, and zeal to her painting, and her watercolors of flowers, seascapes, and landscapes capture their beauty and mood. With her sensitive and intelligent instruction, any beginner can accomplish this artistic magic, too. Using her own exquisite work as examples, she guides novices through all the tools and materials of the trade (brushes, paper, paint); teaches every basic stroke; explains how to shape an effective composition and create an eye-pleasing design; reveals how to work with color; and--most important--helps newcomers feel confident enough to draw on their own creativity to produce truly personal paintings.
