Watercolor 101: Techniques for the Absolute Beginner

For my IRP Quarter 2 Project, I will learn how to paint complex scenes using watercolors with the help of Jeanette Robertson's Watercolor 101: Techniques for the Absolute Beginner. This book covers the basics of watercolor (e.g. materials needed to paint, an overview on types of colors, various types of brush strokes, etc.) as well as directions for more complex paintings (landscape, still life, people). This will be helpful for me because I've never learned how to paint with watercolors, so I need detailed directions to guide me through this learning process.
