I wrote a new book! Introducing Watercolor Made Simple THE BOOK!

I am so excited to share that I have written a brand NEW book! In the past, I’ve created two Trace and Paint books to help you skip the sketching and pressure and get straight to practicing watercolors. This new book goes above and beyond those two with techniques and step-by-step painting projects, and I am so excited to share it with you!

Watercolor Made Simple Book

My new book, Watercolor Made Simple, is a collection of techniques, projects, and encouragement to get you started painting and creating! I created this book because I wanted to create a resource for any and all watercolor artists, no matter what art stage they’re in. Whether you’re a beginner or have been practicing watercolor for some time now, this book was made for you!

A book for watercolor artists. What to expect inside!

You’ll learn all of my favorite techniques and supplies and paint more than 15 popular subjects such as flowers, leaves, feathers, still lifes, and simple landscapes, step-by-step. You’ll be able to get familiar with paints, brushes, and papers to use in your watercolor practice. You’ll also explore the basics, such as fundamental watercolor washes, brush stroke techniques, simple color theory, and color mixing.

This book is the ultimate watercolor artist resource, and it’s an experience that provides everything in one book. I wanted to create something that felt like taking one of my classes but could be explored at your own pace, and this was it!

Bonus content for those who pre-order Watercolor Made Simple!

Inside the book, you’ll find QR codes to helpful tutorials and traceable line drawings to help you jump-start your watercolor journey. When you pre-order your copy, you’ll gain access to PDF’s and a private tutorial for you to explore watercolor painting with to hold you over until you get your copy in the mail! My publisher will also be mailing you a signed book plate that you can put inside your copy of Watercolor Made Simple when it arrives in the fall!

I am so excited to share this creation with you, and I hope you find joy and growth in this book! My Watercolor Made Simple book is available at all major book retailers and can be used as a tool and resource, or a way to find inspiration all in one place. Pre-orders are open, and I can’t wait to see who grabs their copy and starts or continues their watercolor journey with me!
