Nature Painting in Watercolor by Kristine A. Lombardi focuses on watercolour painting inspired by the outdoors, specifically, the plants, flowers, birds and animals. This book is a good place for beginning and aspiring artists to learn how to create their favourite ferns, leaves, trees, florals, animals, using the popular watercolour medium.
The book starts with an introduction to the tools and materials needed; then dives into a thorough and fun painting techniques section, which covers washes, glazes, how to add detail, and much more.
There is a section on finding inspiration outside and tips on viewing and gathering natural painting subjects, such as trees, grasses, flowers, and many other plants. There is a section that shows how to sketch and keep a detailed sketchbook, which would help in the step-by-step painting projects of this book. The step-by-step projects include natural painting subjects such as rocks, mushrooms, buds, blooms, big and small trees, and forest animals done in the author's contemporary watercolour style.
