How to catch a slipping moment and convey your impressions in the picture? The book by artist and teacher Wendy Jelbert will help you take the first steps and tell you how to improve your sketching technique and create your first real painting. You will learn how to make the most of a sketchbook, build a composition, convey textures and portray people. To consolidate the result, the author proposes to perform three large step-by-step lessons, where he describes in as much detail as possible the process of turning a sketch into a complete watercolor work.
