Watercolor Color Book

Whether you've taken art classes or never held a brush before, Watercolor Color will show you everything you need to know about painting beautifully in this challenging — but rewarding — medium. Easy-to-follow projects, shown as they were created, teach the essentials while inspiring the student to tackle increasingly complex techniques.

Each volume of the DK Art School series focuses on a specific medium and subject, so you can choose precisely what you want to learn. When complete, the DK Art School will offer the widest choice of specific subjects — from acrylic figure to oil portrait, and from pastel still life to watercolor landscape. Build your own private Art School in your home library.
