Trace and Paint Nature Book - up your watercolor game!

If you’ve ever taken a class with me, you know that I’m all about making art simple, approachable and enjoyable! Starting something new like learning how to watercolor paint can be intimidating and even time consuming. So I’m all about creating classes and resources to help you do more of what you love - paint and have fun!

I’m really excited to share this new Trace and Paint Nature Book with you! A reference book that you can use to trace line drawings of things like; butterflies, birds, moths, bugs and even includes a few blooms too!

With 26 new motifs, you’ll be growing your watercolor skills as you paint some fun motifs that include a variety of pieces that are designed to help watercolorists practice more and even has some more challenging imagery too!

Here’s a YouTube walkthrough explaining a little bit more about the book and what you can expect!

You might be wondering… “but how do I trace the drawings onto watercolor paper?!” I’ve got you covered on that too! I recorded this video to show you how exactly you can do that! Click here to watch it!

Some of my favorite resources include this portable tracing board light box, or using these black carbon transfer tracing paper! Both are super easy to use to trace your line drawings and to create beautiful art.

The Trace and Paint Nature book is available here on my Author page. I hope this new book helps you save time and removes the challenge of not being able to draw so you can sit down and get painting more and growing your watercolor skills.

Relax, paint and enjoy!
