GreeneryAlthough not as obviously varied as the vast array of colorful flowers, greenery can be just as beautiful and comes in many shapes, sizes, and shades of green. There are several easy ways to paint lovely greenery to add to your botanical paintings. |
Allover PatternsTriangles and diamonds are easier to paint if you draw the outline of the shape first and then fill it in. Use a round brush to paint triangles and diamonds. Then try creating some allover patterns combining the same shape in different sizes and orientations. |
Animal ArtAnimals, especially your canine companions, make great subject matter for watercolor painting. You don’t need to add a lot of detail to paint your favorite critters, either. Just start with a quick pencil sketch, and then use simple strokes and a few fine details. The human eye fills in the rest! |
Hand-lettered WatercolorThe basic brushstroke principles also apply to watercolor lettering. You can use the body of the brush, as well as the tip, and will utilize pressure in the brushstrokes. Combining letters or phrases with watercolor art makes for a lovely painting or gift. |

The information is basic, the pictures are great tho so if you are new to painting the pictures will help you. The "building a color chart" will help you as well. Basic brush strokes, and brush pressure advice and step by step photos.
I've been painting in watercolor for almost a year, and its the same thing we learned in our beginning art classes - washes, throwing salt, etc etc.
The book is made well though, and the paper it is printed on is excellent quality.
