Every project includes color swatches, a materials list, a step-by-step exercise to learn the techniques and shapes for the project, and step-by-step instructions for painting a unique and gorgeous finished piece.
The book also includes a complete introduction to watercolor materials, essential techniques, and color theory and mixing. Whether readers are completely new to watercolors or have already dabbled in them, they’ll find everything they need in Pooja’s book.
