The aim of this DVD is to make you a better painter. In this second part, Ben takes the core skills he looks at in the first DVD and uses them in some stunning pieces of artwork. He shows how using several basic skills, including wet and dry brush work, using masking fluid, removing colour with a sponge and a blade, and the use of the right colours and tones, can make paintings stand out from the rest.
Ben concentrates on exploring composition to make your paintings original, and shows how your image does not need to be the same as the reference photo. Through the use of a theme board, you too can take your painting further than just a straight copy of another image. Follow Ben's instruction to improve your technique and make your watercolour paintings better than ever.

The aim of this DVD is to make you a better painter. In this first part, Ben looks at some of the core skills needed to improve the overall look of your painting. Starting with planned washes with defined lines, and finishing with a beautiful painting of a windmill, Ben explains many of the techniques you should use to make each painting you do better than the last.
Learn progressively throughout this DVD, following Ben's instructions to take the skills learnt in the first exercise through to the second, and adding skills at every stage until you are using all the techniques in the last painting of the DVD.
This DVD is ideal for the watercolour painter who wants to look again at their painting technique, and improve in every aspect, from the way to use the paper and brush, to the use of colour.
