Water imparts life to the most ordinary landscape painting, but painting water successfully is not easy and is often ignored by watercolour books. Here, Michael Edwards covers all aspects of the subject, from seas and harbours to lakes, rivers and streams, beginning with still water and moving through the handling of ripples and waves, on to stormy seas. His approach is to integrate the skills of water painting into a full landscape, and he demonstrates how to capture banks, cliffs, harbours, boats and other elements of a waterside landscape. Information on materials and techniques is also included.
