Synopsis

The What to Paint series is perfect for readers with some painting skills and experience, who are looking for inspiring painting subjects. Each book has 24 beautiful full-page size paintings, a colour palette and informative captions pulling out details, tips and techniques used in various parts of each painting. At the back of the book there is a free outline for each painting for readers to transfer or scan on to paper. There are also instructions on transferring the images, and on selecting parts of the outlines to create new compositions. Artist Paul Apps will guide you through a selection of acrylic waterscapes including tranquil lakes, waterfalls, white water rivers and clear mountain streams examining how they appear with the changing moods of the landscape. Every painting is accompanied by outline transfers, which are ideal for beginners who want to get started painting without requiring the necessary drawing skills.

About this title

About the Author

Kent artist Paul Apps is a passionate wildlife artist and photographer. Through exploring the rural Kent countryside, Paul developed a love of the landscape and wildlife. With no formal art training, painting was initially a hobby, but increasing demand initiated the progression to professional artist in 1987. Ever since, Paul's success and reputation as a wildlife, portrait and equestrian artist has flourished. As well as exhibitions in the UK, artworks have been displayed in Africa, Singapore, Europe and the USA, where his first solo show sold out on the opening night. Sotheby's, Christies and Bonhams have all seen images sell for record prices. With over sixty fine art prints to his credit, originals are also keenly sought after by collectors around the globe. Paul has taught art techniques for many years, and has contributed to several tuition magazines. Supporting wildlife conservation has always been of paramount importance to Paul and sales of his work have helped raise thousands of pounds for various charities.
