Whip Your Watercolor Skills into Shape Improve your artistic fitness--no sweating required! Join Hannah M. Pickerill for a watercolor crash course to bolster your skills and build a diverse portfolio. By completing one comprehensive lesson a day, you'll radically improve your watercolor skills in one month while painting over 30 landscapes, animal portraits, single-subject studies and abstract Zentangles(R) alike. Divided in two parts, this guide first makes painting essentials fun, with interactive lessons and exercises on every- thing from color theory and composition to mark-making and glazing. Once you've warmed up, Hannah takes your work to the next level in Part 2, with chapters on applied techniques, advanced subjects and experimental applications, like using watercolor graphite pencils or painting with your palette knife. Whether you're looking for improvement in a flash or are more focused on the journey, these lessons are written to help you succeed and surpass your watercolor goals. Perfect for beginners looking to learn the basics or intermediate watercolorists looking to refine their techniques and banish artist's block, Hannah's accessible art boot camp is a fun way to invigorate your painting practice.
