The Art of Creative Watercolour by Danielle Donaldson

Inspiration and techniques for imaginative drawing and painting

This is more of a practical kind of book and not a learn/step by step from start to finish of a painting. She lists out in the beginning of the book of what you will learn. She takes about supplies – both consumables like paper and paint and tools like brushes and palettes. There are some images throughout the book. Photographs of items and projects/studies. In the book there are three lessons – the first is organized practice. Talking about daily practice, handmade journals, reward yourself and others. Lesson two covers colour practice – she goes into washes, techniques and fixes and other information. Lesson three goes into composition practice, studies and do's and don'ts. At the end there is a metric conversion chart, to convert what to multiply by.
It is not a total beginner book, more an intermediate book. For those slowly moving going into being an intermediate or to be a more advanced painter. It does cover some basics, like another watercolour painting book I have looked at. Like the others, it would not fully help me because I am still at the beginning phase of learning watercolour. Some reader may feel overwhelmed with some of the projects.
