Do I have a new hobby？This book goes through all the basics of painting， specifically with watercolor。 The writing is very clear so you're not left confused on what to actually do， and it's also laid back so it feels like a friend is telling you all these techniques to paint with these watercolors。 I loved the "do it yourself" aspect along the way during the technique section。 It doesn't just tell you how to do each technique， it also has a sample picture and a blank picture to paint yourself。 T Do I have a new hobby？This book goes through all the basics of painting， specifically with watercolor。 The writing is very clear so you're not left confused on what to actually do， and it's also laid back so it feels like a friend is telling you all these techniques to paint with these watercolors。 I loved the "do it yourself" aspect along the way during the technique section。 It doesn't just tell you how to do each technique， it also has a sample picture and a blank picture to paint yourself。 Then comes along the actual pictures given to you at the end of the book， they are so fun and gorgeous。 I am so excited to go through all of these and each one。 It gives you details on what colors to use on the photos and gives you the example of what the finished one will look like， but I think I am going to be buying many more colors to freestyle。 The pictures will end up used up in a couple of months， but I think I will be keeping the book just for the nice tips and techniques。 Loved this and cannot wait to fill out the book。 。。。more
