With Stunning Watercolor Skies, Rachel Mae Moyles makes watercolor achievable by bringing readers breathtaking but approachable watercolor projects that showcase various sky and scenery combinations. Merging her environmental scientist background with her love for the looseness and relaxation watercolor offers, each step-by-step project is carefully crafted to introduce artists to concepts like realism, layering and mindful composition.
