Book Study with Lexi
Book Inspiration: In Bloom by Rachel Reinert
6 Instant Download Videos (9 flowers/plants)
New to watercolor? Excited to start, but scared to at the same time? This is the perfect beginner watercolor course! I'll be using Rachel Reinert's book , In Bloom, as my book study. It is important to note, that I do NOT teach the drawing, Rachel does a tremendous job of that in her book (step by step - super easy to follow). However, I walk you through the ins and outs of how to watercolor these beauties! There are 6 video lessons, but I show you how to paint 9 flowers/plants. Each lesson is pre-recorded, you are most welcome to download as well! There are no live lessons for this series, but I am ALWAYS available via email if you have any questions! It's also important to note that you do NOT have to have the same colors as I use. This Michaels watercolor set is PERFECT, as it offers a great deal of similar colors to mine.
