Twenty-five ready-to-paint illustrations of anemone, hollyhocks, coneflowers, and fuchsia on watercolor paper. The second in a series of seasonal watercoloring books based on artist Kristy Rice's cutting gardens, this book celebrates summer's languid blossoms such as anemone, hollyhocks, coneflowers, and fuchsia. Her easy-to-learn, joy-driven approach includes simple tutorials on how to use watercolor and where to find affordable materials. A stationery-industry tastemaker, Kristy believes that making art, regardless of skill level, has the power to reconnect us to each other and ourselves. With 25 detailed, yet whimsical illustrations, artists are invited to continue the journey begun in her first watercoloring book series, Painterly Days. Includes painting tips and inspirational commentary. Shows how to use a ten-minute painting session as a path to joy. Touching brush to paper with water and color releases an inexplicable calm that so many of us long for, and making art, even in short bursts, brings us back to ourselves by slowing time.
