Nature's Abstraction
Discover meditative watercolor through design.
Go deeper into the creative process and become the artist you have always dreamed of. Be brave and paint a full-sheet painting, or if space is limited, smaller-size line drawings are available. Journey through the folds and bends of a unique subject matter you may not notice at first glance to create a beautiful painting.
Paint at your own pace with this Zen-like experience that is like no other in watercolor. Learn to guide the viewer through the painting with design, color, highlights, and shadow, and focus on what is most important in this unique subject—intermediate and advanced artists.
