A month of structured watercolor practice

Hannah M. Pickerill organizes this watercolor guide as a 30-day course, with one lesson a day and more than 30 projects spanning landscapes, animal portraits, single-subject studies, and abstract Zentangles. The two-part structure moves from foundations—including color theory, composition, mark-making, and glazing—to applied and experimental techniques. Later exercises introduce tools and approaches such as watercolor graphite pencils and palette-knife painting, giving the course room to range beyond basic brushwork. Its mix of instruction and finished studies makes the book as much a portfolio-building project as a skills-focused program.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginners seeking guided watercolor lessons and practice projects
  • Intermediate watercolorists looking to refine techniques or try new applications
