Nice easy entry into watercolor

This not an overly technical book, which is exactly what I wanted. It gives you enough information to get you started and encourages you to play and enjoy the process.

Really lovely! A book by a great teacher 🎉

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2023

Verified Purchase

What a lovely book! Not only is the book beautiful, Inga is also a very good teacher. The book is accessible yet rich. And if you're new to watercolor, this will give you great context to choose the right brushes and materials. I am actually a very abstract kind of person in some ways (who cares about materials), but some experimentation with painting over the years has shown me how much these details matter. Inga covers these kinds of practical details, AND she talks about things like form, composition, and color in a beautiful way, which is the mark of a really good teacher. It's so lovely to come across a book that is exactly what it's supposed to be and more. This would make a lovely gift for the holiday season too!

Ease into watercolor painting

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2024

A calm stress less approach to painting with watercolors. Simple exercises ease you into designs and painting. A great book for any painter at any level. Very freestyle methods, almost a zen approach.

I took Inga's course on Domestika and I loved it! When I saw she had a book, I needed to get my hands on it. The lessons are great, I love her style and I'm a fan of more natural and muted colors. Highly recommend!

Great book!

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2023

This book gives so many useful tips own selection of brushes, paper, and paint, and the different applications of paint, color, and brush strokes; all of which gets you closer to actually painting. All of the author's tips and suggestion are never overbearing, instead she instilled a freedom in me to explore what felt best for me. I've several books on watercolor and this is the best one I've read and used. I believe that her love of watercolor and the joy she found in it is why she created this book; for all of us to experience the same joy without getting stuck in the blind start of it. Thank you Inga Buividavice for your beautiful book!

Soothing art therapy!

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2023

Inga Buividavice’s Painting Calm presents an immersive journey into creating introspective watercolour art using nature as inspiration. Buividavice’s artwork draws the viewers in with a gorgeous interplay of of soothing colours and shapes. Take 'Dusk’s Resilience', reflecting the calm of twilight, and inviting profound contemplation.

Likewise, 'Ethereal Symphony' suggests a dawn at sea, a balance between reflective serenity and melancholic resonance. Every piece of art underscores Buividavice's unique skill in integrating thought-provoking narrative and tranquility both into her art. Throughout, you learn her tips and tricks for crafting your own soothing watercolourscapes.

Painting Calm carries the overarching themes of introspection and serenity, while unmasking the viewer's inner chaos. Highly recommended for exploring your own innerscapes and artistic talent.

Beautiful book and wonderful instructions! One of my favorites now.

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2023

Verified Purchase

I bought this book because the cover was beautiful, the colors were peaceful and autumn-like, and based on the few preview images the rest of the content looked promising too. Now that I have had it for a few weeks, including selecting it as the only watercolor book to cart with me on a resent vacation trip, I can say it has become one of my favorites! All of the images throughout in the book are beautiful, plus the author has been thorough in her process of giving a well rounded instruction on both watercolor techniques as well as design composition. For my trip, I brought with me only 4 colors of watercolor paint (all Daniel Smith from Michael's crafts, small 5ml tubes :: quinacridone purple, quinacridone burnt orange, phthalo blue GS, and phthalo green BS) and with just those 4 colors, I was able to mix many colors which pretty much matched the look and feel of those in the author's designs. Great book!
