Watercolur painting is an art-form capable of very rich and personal expression. This is why painting in watercolours, one of the earliest arts discovered by man, has continued to the present day when there is also a reawakened interest in its use.
The five authors and artists who contribute to this book have each provided special demonstration paintings and step-by-step illustration and commentary on their work. This offers the reader who seeks to teach himself or herself watercolour painting an orderly structure for learning (and models to copy), together with an informal yet very practical approach.
The book is arranged so that you, the reader, progress naturally from the basics to more advanced stages; from the foundation techniques of choosing your materials, mixing colour, laying washes, and developing sketching, drawing and composition, to quite esoteric skills such as using wax resist and other 'tricks of the trade'.
Extensive attention is given to the 'classic' subjects of landscape and seascape; and to the painting of detailed studies which demands special control and concentration. The final chapter is written with special understanding of an author who taught herself how to paint flowers.
Painting in Watercolours offers the practical, expert and enthusiastic guidance which makes learning the art a relaxed, pleasurable, and life-enhancing experience.
