Synopsis

Learn with Terry Harrison, the master of simple techniques, as he demonstrates how to create weathered windmills, old shacks and huts, farmhouses, cottages, timbered barns and more. Many step-by-step sequences show how to capture all the different architectural aspects of buildings, from tiled roof tops and windows adorned with flowers to ancient doors and rustic porches. All the basics are covered, then Terry moves on to show how to create different textures and effects. He incorporates them into simple demonstrations, each one offering guidance through all the stages of building up beautiful paintings. This book, with its original content and uncomplicated approach, encourages artists to try out the techniques for themselves, stimulating them to create their own original pictures.

About this title

About the Author

Terry Harrison grew up in Norfolk, UK. His early art education was basic and he never dreamed that he would one day become an artist. At 15, Terry moved to Hampshire and, at 16, inspired by his brilliant art teacher, won a place at Farnham Art School. After graduating he became a graphic artist but continued to paint in his spare time. In 1984 Terry gave up his job to paint full time and never looked back, teaching and demonstrating his watercolour techniques throughout the world, developing his own range of brushes and paints and writing over 20 best-selling books that have been translated into many languages. Sadly, Terry passed away in 2017 but his legacy lives on. His gift for explaining his methods in an easy and accessible way has encouraged countless people to take up painting, and his beautiful works of art, inspired by the English countryside that he loved, will continue to be enjoyed by people all over the world.
