Take Your Watercolor Painting to the Next Level
Watercolor’s delicate beauty often feels challenging to master, but Discovering Watercolor by Jennifer Lefèvre offers a clear and inspiring path. This comprehensive guide features 32 progressive lessons designed to help beginners build confidence and discover their own artistic style.
Starting with the basics, the book covers essential equipment like brushes, paints, paper, and masking techniques. It then guides readers through projects that gradually increase in complexity, exploring subjects such as floral compositions, landscapes, portraits, and nature studies. Along the way, practical exercises teach key skills like color blending, controlling water, adding texture, and creating contrast.
Lefèvre, a self-taught watercolor artist and founder of Jenny Illustrations, enriches the book with step-by-step instructions, photos, and creative challenges. Contributions from six professional watercolorists, including interviews and Q&As, provide additional insight and inspiration.
Whether you’re just starting or looking to refine your techniques, Discovering Watercolor equips you with the tools, techniques, and encouragement needed to create stunning, personalized artwork.
