<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In <i>Nature Painting in Watercolor</i>, the focus is all on the great outdoors--specifically, the plants that grow there. Beginning and aspiring artists can learn to create their favorite ferns, leaves, trees, florals, as well as animals, using the popular watercolor medium.</b> <p/> Start by learning about the <b>tools and materials</b> needed to paint in watercolor; then dive into a thorough and fun <b>painting techniques section</b>, which covers washes, glazes, how to add detail in watercolor, and much more. If you'd like to spend more time outside (who doesn't?), check out the section on finding inspiration outside for <b>tips on viewing and gathering natural painting subjects</b>, such as trees, grasses, flowers, and many other plants. <p/> And if you can't get outside, we've got you covered as well, with suggestions for where to find images online and photos to use as references. Also <b>learn to sketch and keep a detailed sketchbook</b>--skills that will help you when you get started on the step-by-step painting projects in the largest section of the book. <p/> The <b>step-by-step projects</b> cover popular <b>natural painting subjects</b>, including the ones already listed here as well as <b>rocks</b>, <b>mushrooms</b>, <b>buds</b>, <b>blooms</b>, <b>big and small trees, and forest animals</b>.
