Each of the 30 lessons in her book is followed by a step-by-step exercise (or two), allowing readers to immediately practice what they have learned. These lessons cover exactly what an artist needs to know, from overarching topics like color theory, composition and perspective to more specific application techniques, like unique brush strokes, capturing light and reflections, and embracing the transparency unique to watercolor. Each exercise can be completed in about 30 minutes, ensuring that readers can quickly utilize their new found painting tool-belt while also creating a diverse portfolio of standalone subjects, atmospheric landscapes, abstract zentangles, mixed-media watercolor collages, and more.
