Review:
If you ever wanted to learn the basics of watercolors, at your own pace, then THIS is the book for you! Jenna sticks with the BASICS. nothing fancy here- just pick out paints, learn to shade using the same color and water, learn different brush strokes, and then she starts you off with some very simple projects. very much like how we learned in art class actually! Leaves and trees might seem simplistic, but they allow you to learn how light and shake work together and how to blend colors. Then when you move onto birds and flowers, you understand the basics! While she is teaching you to complete 1 full picture in 30 days you can divert from it, and use the techniques to paint your own picture. Even Miss Grace looked at the book and said, "ooo I think I get it now, this is easy!"
So if you have a budding artist, or someone who would love to be one, on your holiday list, consider giving them this book with an art pad, some watercolors and a brush set! They'll love it, and you might just help to create an artist!
