Watercolour for starters is the perfect introduction to the most popular painting medium in the world amongst amateur artists. Experienced artist & tutor Paul Talbot Greaves makes learning fun with this book & DVD set. He begins with simple exercises & a trouble shooting guide, often using only two colours & simple washes as he gradually develops your skills & confidence before tackling the more challenging but equally rewarding projects. Paul covers a whole range of techniques & leads you gently from the basics such as brush control, understanding colour & use of washes to the more challenging aspects of watercolour painting such as creating tone, atmosphere, reflections & really bringing a painting to life. Regardless of the challenge ahead, Paul has the ability to break any project down to a manageable series of simple washes & brush strokes. Ideal for the beginner or those wishing to develop their watercolour skills, this set provides a real opportunity to get to grips with this sometimes challenging medium. Book & DVD: David & Charles.
