Watercolor Step-By-Step

This book was designed to help the beginning watercolorist understand the basic techniques of the medium, select the proper tools, and know where to start. Each of the 15 demonstrations incorporates drawing, art history, and observation exercises. Given this foundation, your high schooler copies the author’s step-by-step demonstration paintings, creates his own compositions, and paints them in watercolor. He will paint still life, landscape, flowers, architecture, portraits, and more. Students should possess basic drawing skills and a basic understanding of color mixing (such as red + yellow = orange), concepts taught in Abeka's elementary art texts. Designed to be used in grades 7–12.
