About this title

Synopsis

Painting in watercolor is without doubt the most popular medium for aspiring artists today and yet, behind its apparent simplicity, there are many pitfalls to snare the unwary watercolorist. The Complete Watercolor Course guides the reader through a myriad of methods, from wet-into-wet washes through to the elegance of dry-brush techniques. The book is illustrated with dozens of inspiring examples and hundreds of easily understood staged examples. The Complete Watercolor Course shows how to achieve professional results with a few simple washes to a more complex painting using glazes and additives on a range of papers giving an enormous variety of effects and finishes.
