W E WERE SITTING IN A CIRCLE , gathered in a living room, just as we did every other Wednesday. Each of us took turns sharing about our weeks, how the kids were driving us mad, our work was overwhelming, and how we were eager to find that magical, and lets be real, unattainable notion of balance, when Sarah mentioned that she wanted to start painting again.
I remember a flutter in my soul. Something happens inside me when a woman calls upon the courage to say out loud that they are ready to invest in their own creative lives. I get a rush of excitement and I cant help busting out my pom-poms to cheer them on. Its a scary and vulnerable task and I consider it an absolute honor that I got to be in the room and then subsequently follow along as Sarah followed her curiosity, passion, and talent to find her creative soul.
From the very beginning Sarah has shared her artistic journey for the purpose of inspiring others in their own creative pursuits. Its never just been about her own desire to paint to satisfy her creativity. For Sarah, its always been about pursuing painting and bringing others into that process. Every image she shares, every post, every line she utters in her classes is created with the hope of inspiring others. And this book you hold in your hands is no different.
Sarah intimately knows how hard it is to carve out time for your creativity. When she courageously told us that she was going to start painting again she was a mother to one very young girl and pregnant with another. She had to carve out a few minutes here and there to appease her creative desires. Sarah persevered and we all got to witness magic. Through the process she continually inspired each one of us to pursue a relationship with our creativity no matter what obstacles stand in our way.
This book is your personal invitation from Sarah to become more intimately acquainted with your creativity. Sarahs voice is gentle and inviting as she reminds you that its not about the tools, supplies and money needed to invest in the craft, but its simply the belief that you are worth it. Sarah makes the art of watercolor approachable and deeply enjoyable. Whether you are a beginner or youve been painting for years I have no doubt that this book will bring a much-needed boost of inspiration and creative jolt to your artistic endeavor.

C ONGRATULATIONS ON OPENING THIS BOOK ! Youve taken a real step in investing in yourself as a creative. I am so excited youre here.
When I first pick up a new art book, I open it with feverish excitement to the beginning pages and then often get bogged down in the minutiae of tools, theory, palettes, you name it. This is not what I want for you. I want you to be able to open this book, gather a few key materials, sit right down, and get your paintbrush on the paper while your Creative Muse is eager and willing. I want this book to challenge and inspire you. I want you to feel confident in modifying the lessons as you grow and learn. I want you to create with me, to combine these projects with your own ideas to make something totally fresh and unique.
But lets back up for a moment. What is this book anyway?
Modern Watercolor Botanicals is a project-based watercolor book of painting lessons that allow you to complete beautiful pieces while learning the skills to improve and grow your individual painting practice. It covers watercolor techniques and explores how to incorporate watercolor with gouache and ink for an immersive experience in modern botanicals. In the process, you will paint eucalyptus wreaths, shape olive branches, detail wildflowers, tint fine-lined blooms, shade tropical leaves, and find your unique voice in the world of modern watercolor artists.
