Wanting to start a new skill is daunting. It's overwhelming with all of the free and even costly online tutorials, courses, and blog posts.

In today’s post, I wanted to discuss one of my favorite art forms: botanical watercolors. There’s something magical about capturing the delicate beauty of nature on paper, isn’t there? The vibrant hues, intricate details, and organic shapes all combine to create a stunning pieces of art that can brighten up any space.

I am so excited to share that I have written a brand NEW book! In the past, I’ve created two Trace and Paint books to help you skip the sketching and pressure and get straight to practicing watercolors. This new book goes above and beyond those two with techniques and step-by-step painting projects, and I am so excited to share it with you!
