"Kristy's Spring Cutting Garden" is the first book in a seasonal watercolor series based on the cutting gardens of artist Kristy Rice. This work celebrates the lush blooms of spring, including peonies, magnolias, pansies, and eastern bluebells. Kristy conveys an easily learnable, joy-based approach to watercolor painting and offers simple tutorials that help both beginners and experienced artists develop their skills. She encourages the use of affordable materials and the discovery of the healing power of art. With 25 detailed yet playful illustrations, this book invites readers to continue the creative journey that began in her first watercolor series, "Painterly Days.".
