Watercolour: Techniques and Tutorials for the Complete Beginner

Designed for beginner watercolour painters, Watercolour lays the groundwork for mastering the craft, with a complete guide to the necessary tools and materials, an introduction to the basic techniques, and 10 step-by-step paintings.

Included as a bonus are three feature spreads that focus on areas of particular interest for beginners, including painting special effects, trees, and skies. Clear instructions and helpful tips provided throughout are perfect for beginners, but even intermediate painters will find the techniques and projects worthwhile.

Watercolour painting is an absorbing, meditative art-from but many people simply don’t know where to begin. An encouraging voice and a clear, easy-to-follow approach are often all that’s needed to give people the confidence to get started and keep going. That’s exactly what this book provides. Paul Clark, an enthusiastic and accomplished painter who runs his own art school, explains the fundamentals in a friendly and accessible way. He shows readers what they really need in terms of tools and materials – starting with a limited colour palette that can be mixed to create colours as required.
