Breaking The Rules Of
Watercolour Book (Hardback)
With Shirley Trevena

Watercolour is a demure
medium. Conventional
wisdom says that it's not
the place for experiments
or bold use of colours
and composition. Throw
all that out of the
window, says Shirley
Trevena. In this
remarkable book, she
shows you how to get
stunning results by
ignoring everything you
know. Instead, trust
your instincts.
Analysing ten of her
own paintings, she
reveals how to capture
the heart and essence of
your subject by
concentrating on colours
and shapes. The results
are by no means
abstracts. Everything is
recognisable - but with
an added perspective you
could describe as 'the
artist's eye'. This is
not a technical manual.
It's about how to see,
interpret and tell your
viewer how you reacted to
your subject. Containing
a wealth of information,
it will transform the way
you work. Beautifully
illustrated, written and
produced, this book is a
delight to
own. Batsford. Hardback.
