Review: Easy and fun watercolor book - This book is very accessible—clear, user friendly format. A beginner will need to read the first chapter/instructions. Someone who understands the basics already (like the difference between wet on wet or wet on dry, and has a grasp of colors/palette) can dive right into painting. It’s great for sketchbook practice—when you just want to get some color on paper and practice technique but actually end up with a satisfying result. It’s going to be my best friend for filling my sketchbook with juicy little paintings of fruit, flowers, plants, everyday objects. I was getting hung up and avoiding watercolor practice because I was always trying to paint in a realist style. I really admire Louise DeMasi (a realist painter) as a teacher, but her tutorials require planning, preparation and time. Not good for quick daily practice—but wonderful as a longer term project. Or for someone who has plenty of free time. So now I can just open my Watercolor Success and paint a cactus, or a slice of watermelon, or bunch of flowers. She has simple, clear instructions for which colors to use and which techniques. Love it! Review: Best beginner book I've ever read! - Watercolor Success in Four Steps: 150 Skill-Building Projects to Paint by Marina Bakasova I haven't messed with my paints in a bit so I wanted to get back into them. I have been reading all my books and checking out library books to see which was best. I saw this one and bought it. It has to be the best beginner watercolor book I've read! It takes the reader on a four step journey from blank page to nice watercolor picture! Just four simple steps! There are 150 projects in here too! They all are marked as easy, medium, or high in difficulty. I'm not going to list the 150 projects but the categories are fruit, vegetables, food, drinks,flowers, plants, natural world, insects, animals, birds, sea life, objects, travel, and celebrations. It you think you can't draw, don't worry. The subjects are all super simple or you can trace them. I didn't get the Kindle, I prefer solid books for art. I figure if I do one a day that will get me back in the game! Spur me on to do more! I bought a small spiral watercolor paper book to paint in just for these pictures. Excellent book for beginners or those that want to refresh! Now, off I go to get my brushes! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #23,641 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #29 in Plant & Animal Art (Books) #34 in Watercolor Painting #76 in Creativity (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,163 Reviews | ## Images ![Watercolor Success in Four Steps: 150 Skill-Building Projects to Paint (Design Originals) Learn Watercolor Painting Step-by-Step for Beginners with Easy Techniques and Simple Lessons - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91RHsqhU3iL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy and fun watercolor book *by K***G on July 31, 2023* This book is very accessible—clear, user friendly format.

I normally just wing it and use acrylics so this was a new chapter in my painting path. I like the direction and the suggestions....I didn't realize how often you reapply when doing watercolors. The whole "apply on wet paper" and "waiting for it to dry" and then reapply, sometimes 2-4 times. Definitely a good book for someone willing to read the intro pages, read each step and has patience while things dry. ## Frequently Bought Together - Watercolor Success in Four Steps: 150 Skill-Building Projects to Paint (Design Originals) Beginner-Friendly Step-by-Step Instructions & Techniques to Create Beautiful Paintings as Easy as 1-2-3-4 - Grabie Watercolor Paint Set, Great for Painting, 50 Colors, Detail Paint Brush Included, Art Supplies, for Artists, Amateur Hobbyists and Painting Lovers - 30-Minute Watercolor Painting for Beginners: Easy Step-by-Step Lessons and Techniques --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/157122222-watercolor-success-in-four-steps-150-skill-building-projects-to](https://www.desertcart.it/products/157122222-watercolor-success-in-four-steps-150-skill-building-projects-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
