Hello friends! My name Elisabetta Furcht, an Italian watercolour artist who never gets tired of learning and experimenting.
I'm a self taught artist, and today I'm reviewing a book for watercolour beginners, that helped me a lot when I started my watercolour journey: "The Joy of Watercolor" by Emma Block.
This book is not only full of delightful illustrations, a real joy for the eyes, but it's also packed with detailed projects for artists of all levels, from absolute beginners to more advanced ones.
Today I'm not only browsing the book for you, but I'm also demonstrating a project drawn from the book.

Have you read this book yourself? and what do you think about it? Are you curious to try it? Are there books that you recommend? Let me know in the comments!

This is the Amazon link to the book (it's an affiliated link).

I buy my art materials (including paints in my curated palette that I'm using in this video) from Momarte, my favourite online art store, at momarte.com/?aff=44
They are super helpful and kind, and ship internationally.

If you enjoy my videos, please do not hesitate to like and subscribe.
