A relaxing, satisfying foray into natural art
As a visual artist and nature enthusiast, I am taking delight in exploring the watercolor activities in Rosalie's charming book. Watercolor is a newer medium for me, but I am building confidence with ease thanks to Rosalie's step-by-step process. I took a watercolor class when I was younger, but felt very discouraged as they threw us in with ambitious projects and techniques right away. However, as an artist, I admire how accessible Rosalie's lessons are. She shows readers how to start sketches by looking for geometric shapes and how to add depth and detail using elements of art and principles of design (i.e. creating texture with small dots or little lines). I am enjoying these art exercises because sometimes I want to draw and paint but I don't know where to begin. That feeling often keeps me from doing anything. But with Rosalie's book, she curated such a great selection of woodland wildlife and botanicals to work on. These plants and animals are rich with color, pattern, and texture and really makes you appreciate the natural world. Rosalie's genuine voice comes through as she shares her insights, welcoming anyone to enjoy watercolor and nature. She is a great guide into this foray and following along step-by-step will leave you feeling relaxed and satisfied.
