From the author
This book is based on a simple idea. We will start with everyday things that will be found at every home. As you start to draw more confidently, I will offer you to leave the house with the sketchbook and begin to explore your city and its environs.
Although the theme of my sketches was objects, buildings and nature in the vicinity of my city, I hope you can find something similar next to your house. It is very interesting to consider the world around the world through the eyes of an artist. This can be the beginning of the exciting path. I hope my book will help you take the first steps.

For whom
A book for novice artists who want to master drawing skills with watercolor paints.
