You Can Paint Watercolors

Light on words, heavy on pictures, this totally user-friendly how-to book can turn an absolute beginner of any age, who has never held a paintbrush before, into a productive and proud watercolor painter.

Next, step-by-step demonstrations show how to paint separate features of a still life or landscape-fruit, vegetables, flowers, trees, and skies-then how to combine these elements into lovely watercolor paintings. more
