Landscapes in Watercolour : Techniques and Tutorials for the Complete Beginner

Landscapes in Watercolour breaks down ten progressively more challenging paintings into easy-to-achieve steps for the absolute beginner. A variety of landscape paintings, from a midwinter farm and a sunny woodland to a coastal waterfront and boats in an estuary are featured. Each watercolor is broken down into four or five steps, showing the reader how simple it can be to achieve stunning results as they build up their painting from the background color 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 slaving over an easel for hours. Interspersed with the tutorials are special masterclasses covering trees, skies and reflections. Readers will benefit from the section on choosing tools and materials, and introductory topics on color theory, composition and perspective, as well as the essential basic drawing and painting techniques.
