Step-by-Step Watercolour Painting

This is a step-by-step tutorial on watercolour painting. The book begins with a section on getting started, with advice on choosing materials and simple brush strokes. This is followed by detailed start-to-finish projects on landscapes, still life and figure and portrait painting. Each project focuses on particular skills, such as wet on wet and progressive washes, and advice is provided on problem-solving. Readers are also encouraged to develop their own style, whether they are inclined towards traditional landscape composition or towards a more contemporary approach to colour and form.
