Watercolour exercises inspired by the natural world

Inga Buividavice’s guide brings together practical watercolour instruction and observation of nature. It introduces supplies, basic techniques and colour theory, then offers exercises for finding inspiration outdoors and seasonal projects featuring trees, leaves, flowers, natural light and natural patterns. The illustrations provide examples of ways texture and colour can reflect a connection with the natural world, while tips for building a creative practice extend the book beyond individual painting projects. The publisher frames painting as a way to support mindfulness and wellbeing; the book’s structure makes that theme concrete through guided creative activities.

  • Beginners seeking introductions to watercolour materials and basic techniques.

  • People looking for guided creative exercises and ideas for developing a regular art practice.
