This has inspired me to break my current lack of watercolour mojo, and get out my Dana Fox books! I don’t have the latest book, but I have the In the Forest and In the Ocean ones, and I agree that they’re really relaxing and fun to paint in. One of these books with a couple of brushes (maybe a round #6 and a round #2) and a small Cotman half-pan palette would make a wonderful lockdown gift for someone wishing to try watercolour painting.

I have her 1st book. It was so much fun. Being a new watercolorist I didnt want to only have 1 chance. So, I photocopied the drawings only for my own use. Then I used a tracing light to trace onto watercolor paper. I learned so much and it was rewarding. I finished the whole book...all 50.

thanks for showing this. I just got her first book and love it! My only complaint (not a real complaint) is that I would like to do them over on watercolor paper but when you copy them, they are too light to copy well. I even tried using graphite paper to copy them to another piece of watercolor paper and that didn't work either. Still, her books are awesome! (I am a beginning watercolor painter).

I have the forest and ocean books, and I'm a beginner. It was my Sunday morning project while we were in lock down last year, and my church had online services. I've only done stuff in the forest book, and so many turned out well (others not so much). I keep looking for the jungle book in stores. I follow her in Instagram, and I think she's coming out with a farm book, eventually!

I have two of her books, that I love. I had this one in my hands last week and changed my mind due to price. Thanks for enlighten me as to why it was thinner and pricier. That makes sense instead rather than, what I thought, which was that she was being cheap (so sorry for being judgements). Also thank you for demos as I have the worst time reading and following instructions. I’m a visual learner.

I saw a lot of negative reviews for those reasons and it makes me quite sad to see that. Artist's want nothing more than to put quality work and products out. I know how hard it was for her to have to do that in the circumstances she was given. Wish people would have a little more grace. I haven't tried either of her previous books but I can tell you, this one is more than worth the price!
