I loved everything about this book, from the feel of it in my hand to the opening page asking us, the reader and artist, to slow down + zoom in, to the act of walking me through painting in nature。 The book is an invitation to join Rosalie in the way she creates。 The book feels like she has invited us to her painting party where she is gently guided us through and making us feel right at home。

This book is laid out in a way that helps you see Rosalie’s lovely perspective on art and nature。 As a beginner to watercolor, I found it so fun to learn her techniques。 And it doesn’t hurt that the book is filled with her illustrations。 So amazing!

I got this on a whim at our sweet local bookshop, The Irreverent Bookworm。 It has brought so much joy as I start working my way into watercolors again。 The steps are easy to follow and the entire book is beautiful to look through。

I'm loving this so far。 On my fifth painting, doing them in order。 The mushroom is my favourite so far。 Left feeling super proud that I was able to guess where the ink lines should be thicker for 3D effect/shadowing because of how well the author explains technique in the previous examples。 Each new painting builds off the techniques from the previous one so you really feel like you're building and practicing your skills rather than just copying someone else's art。 Plus the author is just a wond I'm loving this so far。 On my fifth painting, doing them in order。 The mushroom is my favourite so far。 Left feeling super proud that I was able to guess where the ink lines should be thicker for 3D effect/shadowing because of how well the author explains technique in the previous examples。 Each new painting builds off the techniques from the previous one so you really feel like you're building and practicing your skills rather than just copying someone else's art。 Plus the author is just a wonderful person so being able to support them is amazing too! 。。。more

I purchased this for my talented young granddaughter and read through it to make sure she could handle it。 I think she is going to love these truly beginner friendly nature projects。 There are 20 projects for painting woodland plants and animals, flora and fauna, each with clear, precise instructions, diagrams and paintings。 Specific paint colors, and how to mix the limited palette, and proportions of paint to water are clearly explained。 The first ten projects involve pencil, pen and ink, and w I purchased this for my talented young granddaughter and read through it to make sure she could handle it。 I think she is going to love these truly beginner friendly nature projects。 There are 20 projects for painting woodland plants and animals, flora and fauna, each with clear, precise instructions, diagrams and paintings。 Specific paint colors, and how to mix the limited palette, and proportions of paint to water are clearly explained。 The first ten projects involve pencil, pen and ink, and watercolors。 The second ten skip the pen and ink and work from pencil sketches straight into watercolor。 Bravo to Rosalie Haizlett got this excellent book on painting the nature around us。 。。。more
