Watercolor can be a forgiving painting medium for beginners. This first book from popular YouTuber Lefebvre (EmJ Watercolour Studio channel) offers instructions about the basics, such as color theory, mixing paint, and wash techniques. The book begins with a rose project and showcases other activities that work up to painting a bouquet. There are also trees, plants, landscapes, still lifes, and animal projects to help readers progress and get much-needed practice. The book will help beginners learn about the watercolor medium and how to express themselves through art. The lessons are simple enough for middle-graders through adults.
VERDICT An asset for all library collections that include art tutorials for beginners testing the waters of a new hobby.
