Woodland Watercolour: Step-by-Step Painting Techniques for Trees, Forests and Nature

Discover the peaceful joy of painting woodland scenes, where trees, wildlife and nature’s quiet details come to life in delicate watercolours. This enchanting guide invites you to wander through the forest with your brush in hand, capturing oaks, fir trees, mushrooms, wildflowers, birds, squirrels and even tiny snails. Beginning with essential materials and foundational techniques, the book leads you through inspiring step-by-step projects that balance gentle guidance with room for personal creativity. Each project includes a colour palette and visual progression, encouraging you to learn by observing and experimenting. Inspired by Duval-Dumas’ poetic, nature-filled style, this book reflects her thoughtful approach to teaching watercolour. A French artist and educator based in Normandy, Anne-Claire shares the same clarity and warmth that have earned her a devoted online following. Blending artistic sensitivity with practical tips—such as painting outdoors or using water brushes—this beautifully illustrated workbook will help you slow down, observe and find joy in the simple act of painting the forest’s wonders.
