There’s something deeply satisfying about capturing the delicate curve of a fern frond or the iridescent shimmer of a butterfly’s wing. Watercolor in Nature invites you to slow down, observe, and translate the beauty of the natural world onto paper—one brushstroke at a time.
Nature illustrator Rosalie Haizlett has spent years wandering forest trails with her sketchbook and watercolors, documenting the plants, animals, and landscapes she discovers. Now, through her popular teaching style that has reached tens of thousands of students, she’s distilled her expertise into 20 beginner-friendly projects that feel both accessible and inspiring. You’ll learn to paint everything from fiddlehead ferns and wild blueberries to cottontail rabbits and pipevine swallowtail butterflies using her signature wet-on-dry watercolor technique.
What sets this guide apart is Rosalie’s emphasis on observation. She teaches you not just how to paint, but how to truly see—to notice the subtle variations in color, the way light catches a petal, the intricate patterns in an insect’s wings. You’ll also discover fascinating nature facts woven throughout, deepening your connection to each subject.
Step-by-step instruction walks you through every project, whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or looking to refine your skills. By the book’s end, you’ll have the confidence to venture outdoors with your own reference photos and continue your artistic journey.
