About this title

From the Author:

Watercolor Sketching is a companion to my previous book, Freehand Sketching. I wanted to make the capture of color accessible and comfortable for sketchers of a wide range of experience. The recent development of more choices in portable watercolor equipment is making watercolor sketching a more accessible experience.
