My only real critique and the real reason I knocked a star off is Jenna's supply list. This is useful in many ways from creating a supportive environment, getting a sneak peak at projects in the book, and seeing how everyone else is doing in comparison. I also liked that Jenna encourages people to use IG and the hashtag #EverydayWatercolor. I didn't get to complete all the lessons (borrowed from the library) and I was learning through other forms as well, but I think at some point I may buy it. I just wish that she gave better direction or explanation in certain areas, but this might just be me being a more visual learning person. I had already started my watercolor journey by taking a class and YTing, so I had supplies and a little bit of experience going in, but even the beginning lessons were pretty useful to me. I was actually impressed with the organization of this book and I do believe that if someone takes the time to do all the lessons they can learn fairly quickly. The book is broken down by day with a time limit to set aside and the objective for that day. She eases readers into the world of watercoloring by talking about supplies, color theory, and a few easy practices. Jenna's style is very casual and it almost feels like a friend is teaching you.
However, this book doesn't focus on style nor does it go into how to achieve that loose floral look, rather it's a good foundational book on how to get started with watercolors. Her specialty seems to be the type of loose florals that are pictured on the cover, which is not everyone's style. Featuring colorful contemporary art from Mon Voir design agency founder and Instagram trendsetter Jenna Rainey, this book's fresh perspective paints watercolor in a whole new light.I came to know Jenna Rainey from following her on Instagram. From strokes to shapes, this book covers the basics and helps painters gain confidence in themselves along with inspiration to develop their own style over the course of 30 days. This beautifully illustrated and inspiring guided watercolor-a-day book is perfect for beginning watercolor artists, artists who want to improve their watercolor skills, and visual creatives.
