Explore new ways to have fun as you discover how to create stronger, livelier paintings by learning to balance control and spontaneity. Watercolor Without Boundaries is organized like a cookbook, allowing you to just go ahead and try any idea presented! The step-by-step demos are cross-referenced to direct you right to the techniques. You can follow basic "recipes," then add or substitute ingredients to create your own interpretations.

Many demos are included in the book, including the following:

• Foliage as a way to frame your subject
• Starting with a range of values
• Creating paths of light on wet and dry papers
• Combining traditional with non-traditional techniques
• Layering color

More than 50 ways to inspire, motivate, and play with watercolor and mixed media are presented. Watercolor Without Boundaries challenges watercolorists to create their own interpretation and style. The idea is this —  painting "outside the lines" is a tremendously freeing experience and can be a key factor in your growth as an artist.
