Painterly Days: The Woodland Watercoloring Book for Adults Paperback – by Kristy Rice released Mar 10 2016 by Schiffer Publishing. This exquisite 60 page book contains 25 x 2 gorgeous 9" x 12" woodland sketches on quality watercolor paper. The pages are double-sided with the same sketch on both sides, so you can practice or try different techniques. I did not experience any paint bleed through. Suitable for any skill level, just add paint and brush. A suggested materials list is included. I purchased the dagger paint brush from Kristy's list of personal favorites. I'm glad I did, it's lovely to paint with. A novice, I began by perusing the book and watching a couple of Kristy's videos. The extraordinary artist shares her techniques for creating stunning artworks via online demo and in book commentary. I chose a spot to paint, laid out my supplies and then jumped right in. I am thoroughly enjoying this book! One of a series of 3 books, my watercolor adventure will continue. I highly recommend. Get your copy below!

ReplyDeleteI have a number of colouring books but none have double pages for one drawing. I love colouring with pencils, not sure I would like watercolour as much, though.

A beautiful twist on an upward trend. So many colouring books for destressing and using the artistic part of the brain. Have not tried watercolors...yet!
ReplyDeleteColoring is so good to help relieve chronic pain it works for me
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty book!
ReplyDeleteOh my! What a wonderful coloring book!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have always loved watercolored prints and such a large book to use with the colors. I like that the paints and book come together and would try it despite being a novice as well.
ReplyDeleteAdult colouring books has become my new hobby. I have just over 60 books!!!
ReplyDeleteThis would be a wonderful for my grandmother.
