15-Minute Watercolor Masterpieces: Create Frame-Worthy Art in Just a Few Simple Steps

This book is well written and well designed for people new to watercolor. Plenty of beautiful and helpful illustrations to accompany each step of the project. Helpful tips included about paint consistency and why certain brushes will yield better results. There are a ton of lessons, excellent value.

This watercolor book was my intro to painting with better skill. It is so easy to follow these steps. My favorite piece is actually tattooed on me now!

Great resource and informative. Projects are easy to complete and fun.

This is a lovely book with many unintimidating project-based watercolor lessons. It is truly a beginner's book, which is often not the case with books with that label. I did not give it 5 stars for two reasons. Firstly, the color mixing instruction is extremely confusing for a beginner. While I appreciate the author's choice to be paint brand agnostic, at least use traditional pigment names consistently and include those names in the lesson. I have no idea what "tint of green" means, and mixing instructions consisting of unlabeled colored dots on the page are zero help. A beginner needs more specific direction than this. Secondly, the author doesn't help the reader diagnose what went wrong when their painting doesn't turn out like the example in the book. I've been a watercolor beginner for about a year now and I struggled with the very first lesson, throwing away at least six failures before I managed to get the right amount of water on my paper, paint in my brush and effective technique. If I hadn't known what I already knew of watercolor, I would have become discouraged and quit before I managed to figure it out. I include a photo of my eventual success, but also a few of the fails as well, to demonstrate what I mean. Our society of the "curated life" often hides the work it takes to become good at something, which can discourage the beginner. It's a pretty book, with a lot of projects I look forward to trying and I hope Anna continues to create this kind of book!

Excellent watercolor book for beginners. Goes through the basics at the beginning and then gives tons of samples with explicit instructions. Good selection of sample pieces too. Definitely worthy.

My mom LOVED this gift! What a darling, inspiring book! Simple and detailed instructions!

While I would not say this is going to give you masterpieces in 15 minutes it does have some lovely projects to do with good guidance on how to be successful with them. I like that you can do something in 15 and it actually looks like a picture. But unless you are highly gifted do not expect to be making something you are going to frame.

A gift purchase. She loved it, no complaints. She is an intermediate/ advanced-ish artist.

Bellissimo, carta lucida, con fotografie e spiegazioni chiare. Bello replicare gli esercizi proposti che sono molto stimolanti e creativi e sinceramente facili da fare anche per chi non è professionista.

Nice book. Good for beginners

very interesting book and the best for learning how to use watercolor in many techniques. I’am very happy to buy it 😍❤️❤️❤️

I am a watercolorist using traditional tube ,pan and now pencil watercolurs.I use stretched paper or masked paper or 300gsm.I am happy to endorse this book either as a paperback or the Kindle version to many who have wanted even briefly, to dabble in watercolours,either as a present or for one's library.

Tiene proyectos bonitos y fáciles de hacer, además, practica las técnicas básicas de acuarela de una forma muy amena. Es ideal para los que tienen mucho tiempo pero quiere pintar y practicar algo de acuarela con frecuencia para coger el hábito y soltura. Es muy recomendable para los principiantes que quieren consolidar las ténicas de acuarela y disfrutar de ella a la vez.
