This innovative approach to the process of learning to paint in watercolours features more than 200 hints & tips. The book is organised in a logical sequence that begins with the process of selecting materials & explains not just the what but the why, going into the sort of detail that other books often omit, such as staining versus non-staining colours, papers by the sheet, pad or block, how to choose the best brushes for you & even how to organise your working space. The main body of the book looks at both techniques & subjects & features a vast array of example paintings & demonstrations, accompanied by short & easy-to-follow paragraphs that pick out the key points. One of its best features is that sections are not limited by the book's format, but are rather given space to breathe & develop in a way that never leaves you feeling short-changed. An almost unique cross between a course & a hints-&-tips encyclopaedia, this extensive guide is the ideal introduction to working in a rewarding medium. Search Press. Paperback. 176 pages.
