AWESOME LITTLE JUMP START INSPIRATION
THIS book is a great enticement into playing with watercolor, or whatever you have, to get an understanding on color and color mixing. It's a beautiful little presentation to offer you some play time and it only takes 5 minutes. The author walks you through the basic setup and if you follow her, it's an incredible way to get your mojo going or even playing with supplies you already have ... think possibilities in coloring options -- not just for watercolor. The book is a perfect little portable piece of "take me with you" that allows you to relax from a busy or stressful time. I LOVE IT!!! After my watercolor "circles" are part of my ritual, I can't wait to try it with pastels, crayons, gauche, acrylics, and anything else that is a colorant... So much fun. UPDATE: 01 10 2020: Now that I've been using it for a few days, I have only one suggestion for anyone looking to try this book. DO NOT USE THE BOOK itself for your circles. The paper is NOT made for any kind of wet media and it's rather disappointing to have the page / paper you are painting start to "pill" after just a couple of strokes. I'm going to switch from watercolor to acrylics and see if THAT will work a little better. AND a note -- I AM using a very low-grade watercolor palette which may have something (or everything) to do with this problem. For a beginner I did not buy into a "spendy" watercolor set. SO, if this becomes a fun little 5-minute before bed ritual (I'm optimistic) that I will make my own little booklet with watercolor paper and be able to use it for any medium I want. I'm thinking: one booklet for mini collages; how to draw or doodles, ... endless ideas. Her inspiration pages for each week are still very motivational and fun to follow.

I love it, so much fun!
The materials are good, the book is a very well designed. It makes you want to use it every day. The idea of focusing on the simple task of one color dot per day makes you see every color mix as a new world. It is also nice and fun to have a diary of colors instead of words, makes a lot of sense for visual people or artists.
