This book is a celebration of curiosity as much as it is a practical guide to learning the tools and techniques of watercolor.” ―Gale Straub, creator of She Explores “This book will teach you magic painting skills for capturing nature, but more surprisingly, it does something even more fundamental: it creates an environment where you will most certainly be captured by the magic of nature!” ―Andy J.
