Posh Paint Play Review & GIVEAWAY

The pages of her delightful first book come to life! London based artist Katie Rose Johnston shows us a modern approach to watercolor in Posh Paint Play: 21 Easy Watercolor Techniques to Explore. True to its title the central theme of her book is playing with paint, with a focus on process. It is suitable for any ability or experience. She encourages experimentation of a broad range of painting techniques in order to gain an understanding of how watercolor works and to find your own unique ways of using it! These must-know techniques are listed below in the table of contents. How-to demonstrations of each technique, along with practical instruction, are supported by her inspirational painting. Gain insight from the artist on everything from bold brushwork to strong color.  Add your own watercolor paint, paper and brushes. Alongside her illustration work Katie has taught watercolor workshops for almost ten years. Andrews McMeel Publishing will release this 96 page paperback on February 18, 2020. It is available now for pre-order. Get your copy below!
