Watercolor Is for Everyone guides you through 21 intuitive, process-based painting lessons that help you discover your own unique artist-within while creating works of beauty you will joyfully send out into the world to share.

In this beautiful book, artist Kateri Ewing, author of Look Closer, Draw Better, guides you through a series of simple creative projects using a soulful, meditative, and reflective process. Whether you are picking up a paintbrush for the first time or are an experienced artist, you will discover and deepen your creative potential through these exercises, because everyone can make art.

Each project results in two art pieces, one to keep for yourself, and another one, such as a postcard or mini painting, to share with someone else or send out into the world, to spread their colour, creativity, and joy in new places.

With Watercolor Is for Everyone, you can learn how to build a daily practice and how to set intentions and create, even if you have just 10 minutes a day. The projects draw inspiration from poetry, music, literature, and the natural world, and invite experimentation with various sources, from tarot and oracle cards to rocks and feathers.

You will pursue your personal passions through accessible projects as you build your artistic skills, confidence, and creativity.
