Full disclosure I am still working my way through the lessons, but with peeks ahead I can unreservedly say; This book is an absolute delight and a breath of fresh air. If you are finding yourself in a rut in your watercolors I can not recommend it enough. The author frames the lessons in a very approachable way without ever forcing the reader into a step by step framework, instead focusing on reframing thinking about how and why you make art with a strong emphasis on enjoying the process, and being present. Wonderful!
I've always been blown away by Emma Burleigh's sumptuous watercolours, she is a true master of the craft! So to have a book that is not only filled with her beautiful art, but also insights, wisdom and teaching prowess is an absolute treat. I think anybody and everybody can be inspired to find the joy in watercolour through doing this course, no matter what experience they have with the medium, because Emma's guidance is about connecting to it on a deep and personal level.
This book is beautiful! It has an inspiring energy about it, helping you to relax and explore through your art - I love just picking this book up on a random page and just setting myself a time limit (5mins, 20mins, or an hour plus) to just let go and allow myself to flow with the paint and see where it takes me ❤️
Brilliant book for those wishing to unleash their inner artist! A great and carefully thought through guide to help people with this, written by a very talented artist. I would definitely recommended this book.
