review:
'Celestial Watercolor: Learn to Paint the Zodiac Constellations and Seasonal Night Skies' by Elise Mahan and D.L. McElroy is an art book about painting the night sky.

Starting with the tools and techniques needed, the first section talks about art supplies and watercolor techniques like wet-on-wet versus wet-on-dry. The next sections are on the astrological signs with the various signs and what they mean. Then moon lore is discussed and the book finishes with seasonal night sky paintings.

The paintings are nice, but have a sameness that doesn't seem to vary all that much. If that is exactly the kind of thing you wish to paint, then this is your book. I also wanted more instruction on technique and less on astrology and shamanism, but to each their own, I suppose.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Rock Point, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
