With Stunning Watercolor Skies, Rachael 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. What is more, Rachael shares her best tips and techniques for getting started in watercolor and creating a daily art habit, ensuring every budding artist can have success with these projects even if it's their first time picking up a brush.

With dazzling sunsets that recall beachside relaxations, all the way to clear, placid prairie dawns and clouded moonlit nights that evoke atmospheric happenings, skies are a fascinating topic for many. Each chapter takes readers through different settings and seasonal backdrops: projects like Sunrise Over Mountain Silhouettes, Foggy Lavender Field and Northern Lights Over Pines will be perfect gifts for loved ones, while dramatic pieces like Galaxy Sky With Lake Reflection, Ocean Waves With Stormy Background and Lighting Over a Field will enrich every wall on which they hang. Additionally, the last spectacular artwork in each chapter will combine elements from previous projects, for an additional (but still accessible!) challenge.

Before long, readers will not only be amazed at the how much their watercolor skills and confidence grow, they will also marvel at the exquisite world around--and above--them.
