"Sarah has penned (and painted) the complete book of watercolor & gouache for anyone ready to dive into the wonderful world of painting. From mindfulness to technique, this book is not only an introduction to painting but a complete guide to the skilled art of color movement and blending. Sarah's botanical imagery is captivating and her descriptive instructions dance across the page as fluidly as her art. What a wonderful way to spend a season immersed in watercolor, what an incredibly inspiring how-to book."
