3-Color Watercolor: 30 easy projects to try using just 3 colors at a time!

30 fabulous projects for beginners – get comfortable with watercolor, using only 3 colors at a time!

Create neat and pretty watercolour projects with only 3 colours at a time! With this book you'll be able to paint animals, flowers, plants, baked goods and more in swift and quick strokes, using minimal yet distinctive colour palettes.

Artist Katie Putt, New Designers "One to Watch" (London, 2019) uses a simple, fun process to explain how colour mixing works for beginners. Using just 3 colours at a time, you can discover how the colours interact and gain confidence with easy “mini masterpieces” to paint.

The book includes 10 sections, each one based around a different set of 3 watercolours. Within each section you will find:

• The three colours shown on a simple colour wheel
• A comprehensive mixing chart showing how each colour will interact with another of the 3.
• 3 mini masterpieces—simple painting projects to create using colours from the mixing palette, with easy mixing instructions and simple stages to follow.

The book includes 30 projects and 10 colour schemes overall.

The colours chosen for the palettes are all easily available, and large swatches of each pure colour will make matching it easy, even if your paint shop doesn’t happen to stock that particular brand or shade.

This is the perfect book for beginners as well as more developed artists who want to play around with more limited colour designs.
