I'm thoroughly enjoying this book, not only for its high-quality production, featuring a textured cover and stunning illustrations, but also for its synergy with the author's online classes. It's a fantastic reference for the skills and techniques taught in her videos. Furthermore, the inclusion of QR codes allows me to easily access relevant examples, making it a valuable standalone resource in my collection of watercolor materials.

Tem um design agradável e tem dicas úteis. Um livro importante para quer começar a pintar com aguarela.

Boken är så bra i sitt utförande. Lätt att förstå, fina bilder och roliga uppgifter. Man blir glad av Nicki Traikos underbara färgpalett. Att skiva så att den som inte har målat tidigare får inspiration att ta pensel och färger och börja är inte lätt. Men det lyckas Nicki med. Jag kan verkligen rekommendera den här boken.

The author of this book - Nicki Traikos was my first ever watercolor teacher and all her courses are brilliant and easy to follow. She has combined all the knowledge in her courses into this book. Absolutely recommend it for any beginner in watercolor. It's filled with easy and simple projects with step by step instructions. There are also qr codes included for instructional videos. I have nothing but positive comments about this book. Go for it! You'll not be disappointed.
