Watercolor the Easy Way by Sara Berrenson

Sara Berrenson covers a lot of ground in this lovely book. This book was so much fun, very insightful, and can teach anyone to comprehend the basics of watercolours. Well, I'm not Henri Matisse but I'm certainly more talented than I once believed. Many thanks to Better Day Books and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. My average rating is a direct result of what I found to be a lack in originality based on the projects in the book. These designs are simple enough for a beginner and useful to those who are more experienced as well.

Even the tutorials themselves are put together in a way that resembles the tutorials I own.

My excitement quickly faded though as I realized the designs were almost identical to many of the previous projects I have had in my monthly subscription through another artist. The book starts with suggested materials to complete the projects and then specific colors and techniques are discussed for a finished piece. What I found was a great guide to several designs complete with instruction for a reader to create themselves. I am a subscriber to a monthly watercolor kit over the last year and was excited to see another artists' style and instruction. Best of all, the projects can be completed in 30 minutesĮxperience the magic of watercolor, spark your creativity, and discover your inner artist with this beautiful book.I jumped at the chance to preview an ARC of Watercolor The Easy Way by Sara Berrenson.
