Learn to paint cherry blossoms and lambs in the spring, honeybees and wildflowers for summer, oak leaves and harvest mice in autumn, and pine trees and snowdrops in winter.

The perfect primer for creating seasonal cards, personalized stationery and stunning artworks to decorate your home or give to friends and family.
A Year of Watercolor is a great wealth of information on mixing watercolor especially for a beginner. I enjoyed going through the pages, however personally wanted information more advanced. I gave the book 5 stars as a beginner would really benefit from the drawings and mixing of paints.
