This book is SO much fun! I've completed all but two of the projects in this book and people are calling me talented! That just shows how easy and fun she makes it with her step by step instructions and super cute projects (and how lovely my friends and family are :-))! Each chapter begins with a couple of beginner projects, then intermediate, and finally an advanced project or two putting all that practice to use in a larger project. It's a fun way to test out all the different kinds of paper, paints, and brushes one starts to encounter when first starting out with watercolor. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone who thinks the projects are a style they would like to paint. If you're looking for more realistic stuff, this probably isn't the book for you.
