Hello, Watercolor!

Instagram star Jeannie Dickson has created a modern and inviting introduction to watercolour painting that aspiring artists will turn to again and again on their creative journey.

Hello, Watercolour! offers a fresh approach to painting watercolours with concise and accessible information. Aspiring artists and journalers will immediately be able to apply the techniques they learn on these pages — including brush lettering — to more than 15 exciting step-by-step projects, from painting origami animals, sparkling glass shards, and beautiful alphabets to producing luscious florals and fanciful unicorns. 

Among the features that make this handbook both a valuable learning tool and source of inspiration:

Projects that include a list of techniques with cross-references
Each project includes watercolors used with swatches so readers can make substitutions easily
Popular colour palettes and colour ‘recipes’ for foolproof mixing
12 monthly challenges with daily or weekly prompts to inspire painting all year long
Templates to trace and paint for some projects
Ideas to share work and connect with others (e.g. Instagram)
