The Joy of Watercolor: 40 Happy Lessons for Painting the World Around You

It was a present for a beginner, she loved it. All the tutorials are well explained, and the paintings are so beautiful that it gives you the motivation to try the next level.

Partner wanting to learn a new pastime.....Loves this book with lessons that start at the basics and progress in easy to follow steps. Would recommend for absolute beginners.

Great for beginner . Easy to follow with interesting subjects

Easy painting exercises which are wonderful when you just want to paint and not have to think too much. I found them fun and not taxing.

This looks good and was recommended with the proviso that you do every product in order rather than skip around the lessons so that you learn the process. You start if simply but by the end of the book you can see how far you have progressed. It’s clear and precise with a good variety of themes and I’m looking forward to using it.

I absolutely love this book. It helps provide ideas and methods to create watercolour paintings. You can start from a beginner and work your way up to some of the more advanced pieces.

As a complete beginner with no experience this book is just what I was looking for. It is full of colour and different stages, a really helpful guide. I have managed to produce so pleasing pictures, I would buy from this author again. So impressed that I bought this again along with some paints to give as presents.

Wasn’t quite to my style, however it’s a nice quality.

Pour celles ou ceux qui parlent anglais, ce bouquin est une pépite : bien expliqué, jolies illustrations, je me suis mise à suivre Emma Block sur Instagrma du coup, et j'adore ce qu'elle fait ! Ici mon journal illustré avec les conseils de son livre...

كتاب متنوعة لطريقة استخدام اللاوان المائية ممتع

este libro es fabuloso, la edición y el contenido resulta sorprendente. es un libro que no solo enseña de acuarela muestra la simpleza y la abstracción del dibujo y lo fácil que resultar pintar con acuarela. Comprar libros en Amazon puede ser un albur, he comprado más de 40 libros de diseño y dibujo aquí y este libro está en el top 3 de lo mejor que he comprado. Tip: si lo compras para regalar compra 2 o no darás regalo ese día.

I'm so happy I bought this book. I'm following along with the lessons and already seeing progress. Informative, simple to understand, and lots of fun. The section on color mixing is especially useful. Please do note that the book assumes you can already make simple drawings - the focus is solely on painting. The only thing that is missing is a discussion of brush techniques - but for that part, you need video lessons such as on Skillshare or YouTube. Anyway, really pleased with my purchase and I highly recommend this book for beginning watercolor enthusiasts.

Great quality paper and lots of prompts and exercises sorted by level of experience. Fresh and positive book. Also some useful information about colour mixing, and other tips.
