About this title

Synopsis

This guide aims to show complete beginners how to paint a watercolour landscape in just one weekend, allowing them to build skills gradually and produce an attractive, frameable painting in a limited amount of time. The author starts by introducing the materials required for painting watercolour landscapes, then leads readers through a series of initial techniques designed to provide a basic grounding in the skills required for this subject area. This instruction is followed by eight short courses for painting a range of popular landscape subjects. Each course starts with practice exercises to be completed on the saturday; readers are then ready to complete the full watercolour painting on the sunday. Clear instructions accompany step-by-step photographs throughout, and technical information is given in special feature boxes.
