Urban Watercolor Sketching

Art enthusiasts and color lovers will be stunned by the beauty of Urban Watercolor Sketching by Felix Scheintserger. 
This book contains:

• The history of watercolor painting
  
• How watercolor paint is made
  
• What pigments are
  
• Color theory and interesting factoids
  
• Art prompts
  
• Watercolor techniques
  
• Ideas for finding your own style
  
• Tools 
• Tips for traveling with watercolors.
• Vibrant and eye catching illustrations through out the book. 

This book is not only filled with eye candy, it is brimming with instruction for artists who wish to make watercolor their medium of choice.

The text is just as beautiful with poetic language like: "Pigments are the true soul of the paints" or "Color is alive; it's emotional and brings us to an entirely new place."

Not only does the author flawlessly present his love of the watercolor medium, he presents a love of language and expression. This is an excellent companion for art classes and homeschoolers who require nature journals. Readers will learn several ways to combine sketches with watercolor.

I was given this book by Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.
