A descriptive guide to help beginners and experienced artists master and practice the techniques for creating stunning watercolors drawings in just a few simple lessons.

Watercolor allows for delicate strokes and glowing washes, but it's the beauty of this material that makes it difficult for artists. The water in its composition can warp the paper, and the paint itself changes its shade. Renowned Japanese watercolorist and respected teacher Yuko Nagayama has developed an effective system of twelve lessons that will help you master the skills of creating delicate still lifes, atmospheric landscapes and expressive portraits using this popular medium.

You will experiment with the background, work out the form, convey the mood. Feel the poetry of watercolor: the color of the air, the dance of lines and the music of colors. Thanks to professional advice and visual presentation, you will learn how to draw bright and at the same time weightless pictures.
