So it all started a few years ago when I took an art class in high school. The class was called studio art and it covered many different subjects such as calligraphy, drawing and painting, just to name a few. A few weeks into the class, we began painting with water colors. At first I thought this was very childish, but I immediately grew to enjoy it. Painting with water colors is much different then painting with acrylic or oil paints. There is a certain technique to it that I just loved to do. After my class was over, I still wanted to learn more about painting with watercolors. My art teacher said finding a local artist willing to teach me for a price would be the best way to go, but I didn't have much money, so I needed to find another way. After searching online for quite a while, I stumbled upon this book.
Check out this book.
This banner I've included above contains a book with step by step instructions on how to paint with water colors. It shows you the the proper techniques, materials, and much much more to become a successful water color artist. I highly recommend it to beginners and advanced water color artists alike. After purchasing this product, I might not have gotten results right away, but within a week or two I was painting some pretty decent pieces of art. Believe it or not, one of my friends even bought one of my water colors. I was stunned! I was doing what I loved and I was actually getting paid for it, all thanks to this book. After about a month or two, I found that using the skills I learned in this book and implementing some of the skills I learned in the book I've described below, I was actually painting beautiful water color artworks. Of course I was skeptical at first(almost anyone would be), but take my word for it; THIS BOOK IS SIMPLY AMAZING. A must buy.
And for those of you who are interested in painting not just water colors, but oil paintings as well, Ive included a link that covers not only water colors, but picture making, sketching, and drawing as well! This is another amazing book that really helped me learn the skills required to make beautiful works of art.
Another great book.
