Excellent for beginners - thoughtful, slow, and great practice. It's also helpful for when I don't feel like starting from a blank sheet of paper. Alyssa is a great teacher, too!
The Minnesota watercolor workbook is exactly as presented. Introduction to watercolor painting for beginners, wonderful drawings that represent Minnesota's finest landmarks, QR codes for video assistance, and a fun questionnaire at the end. The quality is excellent. It arrived in a very timely manner with a postcard signed by the artist, Alyssa Whetstone, and one of her delightful stickers. My sister was thrilled with this gift! Thank you!
Beautiful sketches - easy to enlarge and paint.. Would like to buy more of these workbooks.
Beautiful watercolor workbook. So relaxing and fun to do.
Love these books! Can’t wait to dive in!
I'm a plant mama, so this is perfect!
I love the pictures in this book so much that I can't bear to actually color them myself. If you love Minnesota, this is for you.
I was invited by friends and had NO idea what to expect, but I ended up having a wonderful time. The class was well paced, informative in a way that made what looks like”hard” make sense and I loved my end result. Alyssa is just wonderful and I will definitely be doing this again!
Alyssa does such a great job with her workbooks. They are easy to use...fun to work on and beautifully crafted. Highly recommend using any of her workbooks!
This print was absolutely beautiful! Alyssa was super helpful and responsive. It made the perfect engagement gift for my friend who was proposed to at Minnehaha Falls - I know she'll treasure it forever!
We did this at a bridal shower and had so much fun! I would highly recommend!
