Synopsis

Landscapes in Watercolour comprises ten tutorials for the absolute beginner to achieve stunning results. 

The diverse selection of landscapes ranges from a midwinter farm and a sunny woodland to a coastal waterfront and boats in an estuary. Each watercolour is broken down into four or five stages, showing how to build up a painting from the background colour and add the finishing details. The reader will learn how to simplify the scene in front of them, allowing them to recreate the essence of the landscape for the viewer without labouring over an easel for hours. Interspersed with the tutorials are special masterclasses covering trees, skies and reflections. There is also a section on choosing tools and materials and introductory topics on:

 

• Colour theory
• Composition
• Perspective
• Basic drawing
• Painting techniques.
