What to Paint Landscapes in Watercolour Book with Terry Harrison: You've got a shelf of instructional books, a jar full of brushes of every shape & size, all the colours under the sun & enough paper to last you a lifetime, but what are you going to paint? This, says Terry in his introduction, is the artist's equivalent of writer's block. This innovative new book is Terry's attempt to break that log jam. The approach is not unlike the hugely successful Ready to Paint series, but

Includes:: more ideas & less-detailed instructions. The idea is that you already know how to paint, it's the what that you need. & so there are no fewer than 24 paintings, each with its own outline that you can trace down to give you the basic structure. Each comes with notes on brushwork & other techniques as well as a comprehensive palette. There are even suggestions for combining different elements from several paintings to create a whole new composition. This isn't a substitute for going out & finding your own subjects, nor would you want it to be, but it is a splendid way of getting those creative juices to flow. Search Press. Paperback. 112 pages. Colour throughout Pack of A3 Tracedown Graphite: Tracedown presents a simple & quick way to copy images, & can be used many times to transfer your image to paper. The Graphite tracedown is ideal to be used with white paper while the white trace down is perfect for dark paper projects. Place one sheet of wax free transfer paper between the image & your paper & simply trace over the outline. You'll be painting your picture in no time! Available in A3 & A4, & comes in packs of either 1 or 5 sheets. Author: Terry Harrison

This is not so much a book about how to paint trees, as how to paint scenes with trees in them, & it's all the better for that. The book comprises no fewer than 24 different scenes, each with an outline tracing & a double-page spread showing the completed work along with notes on the colours used & how some of the specific details were handled. It's a series of ideas rather than a set of exercises to complete &, as such, more suited to those with some experience of the medium. Geoff has chosen an excellent variety of subjects from the stark shapes of a winter morning's walk to the dappled shade of a woodland in spring, from the warm afternoon sunshine of a Manhattan park to the chilly afterglow of a midwinter evening. In the accompanying DVD Geoff takes you through the hints & tips which will help you complete the 24 paintings from the book. He shows you how to tackle a wide range of exciting projects such as how to paint convincing looking reflections in the water, rustic foliage on an autumn willow tree, how to create perspective & scale by adding figures to the landscape & how you can splatter masking fluid to create lively looking fountains. With Geoff as your guide this excellent book & DVD set is sure to put a spring in your step & you'll realise that learning to paint is easier than you think. Book: Search Press. Paperback. 112 pages.
