Lovely book on watercolour for beginners
5 stars
Thanks to NetGalley, I was able to read a digital ARC of Vibrant Watercolor: A creative and colorful exploration into the art of watercolor painting by Geethu Chandramohan.
The book is divided into two main sections, The Basics and Projects. The Basics is split into eight sections detailing tools and materials, watercolour basics, colour theory, watercolour techniques, perspective, composition, light and shadow, landscape painting.
The author includes recommendations and useful tips throughout, and each chapter is full of photographs illustrating concepts introduced in the text.
The remainder of the book consists of 14 projects, which detail step-by-step how to achieve the finished product. The text and photos are clear and seem easy to follow.
This is a very nice book for beginners, and those new to watercolour. I have added it to my wish list along with some watercolour supplies and can't wait to use Geethu …
