I am so thrilled to finally be able to write this post. If you've been following along with my Patreon posts, you'll find a collection of posts called "Watercolor Wizardry Book". I've been documenting the entire progress as I worked on this book since February, and now finally - after months of illustrating, writing, planning - I am pleased to tell you that Watercolor Wizardry is now out for pre-orders.
This book is a collection of 25 step-by-step watercolor tutorials on painting fantasy forest scenes. But this is not your regular instructional book! I wrote each tutorial to make the reader feel like a wizard protagonist creating your own watercolor forest dimension with each tutorial you complete.
Guided by a coven of parrot wizards, you'll meet strange characters like The Mushroom Wizard (Chapter 3), visit The Talking Leafhead Tree (Chapter 2) and discover cursed knowledge in The Book of Mosscraft (Chapter 5).
I had immense fun while working on this book and I can't wait for it to be in the hands of all kinds of wizards.
Some details:
Place a your pre-order during this pre-order period for a free coloring page pack of 6 illustrations from the book. Specifically the cover art, and 5 chapter heading illustrations. Print and paint! Just send me an email with your pre-order receipt and I'll send you the download link.
I love immersive books with hundreds of little details to admire and page through, so that's what I wanted to bring to this book. This is the first book I've done at such a large scale, with the help of an entire team from editing to proofreading, to marketing. Not only was it such a big learning process but I had so much fun and freedom to make it a beautiful book for the reader to enjoy. From illustrating the dropcap letters to chapter heading illustrations, to writing secret messages and stories, I hope you will discover each detail.
Posting the process on Patreon, seeing your comments of support and encouragement, kept me motivated to create this book. Thank you for following along. With love and magic,
Kiara.
