Description:

A sketchbook is the perfect place to gather and record observations, whether your intent is to complete a quick watercolor sketch or prepare for a larger studio painting. In this book, watercolor artist Brenda Swenson explores the many wonderful possibilities that an artist's sketchbook has to offer-from practice pad to travel journal. You'll not only discover how to get the most out of your own personal sketchbook, you'll also learn essential art theory and techniques, including composition, perspective, color mixing, and much more!
