Discover Japanese watercolour painting through the expert guidance of Ayano Otani, an internationally acclaimed Japanese illustrator and watercolourist, whose work bridges centuries-old tradition and contemporary artistry.
This comprehensive guide takes you from the very basics — choosing brushes, paper, water and colour — to the confident execution of 16 traditional Japanese subjects. Clear colour charts make every technique approachable, whether you are picking up a brush for the first time or looking to sharpen an already practised hand. A standout feature: each subject comes with a QR code linking to step-by-step video tutorials by the author herself, available whenever and wherever you need them.
A book that combines structured learning with genuine visual pleasure — as useful on the studio desk as it is beautiful on a bookshelf.
