Features: Watercolor painting is a very "delicate" art form. It requires you to be very attentive, meticulous, and considerate about every color. Even if your emotions are intense, you must approach it with a gentle mindset and mood. A friend once said eloquently: "Painting watercolor is like a meditation session in a Zen room—sit firmly, remain calm and composed, and let your emotions be like still water." The author is describing the state of painting watercolor. Painting watercolor cannot do without intense artistic passion, but this passion needs to be reasonably channeled. Craftsmanship and gentleness are not the same thing. This book is another milestone in the author's long journey with watercolor painting. In this "preface"-style literary piece, there is much to say. The path of watercolor painting never has an end. When you get tired, you should think about what to do next. What is exhausting is that the path of watercolor painting has countless ways, numerous techniques, and diverse styles.
