Colorways: Watercolor Animals newWatercolor animals don't need to match reality to capture their essence. This book teaches you to paint elephants, whales, dogs, cats, and fish using imaginative color choices that transform ordinary subjects into expressive, otherworldly creatures. Each demonstration walks through both capturing likeness and breaking traditional color rules, think purple elephants or turquoise cats that still read as convincingly animal.
