Jeremy has written this book covering many of the techniques he personally uses as a watercolour artist. There is a wealth of information
in this book that Jeremy has assimilated from reading books and watching other artists work, and from personal trial and error. M

He covers use and choice of basic materials and a range of different techniques used by watercolour artists. There's a very useful section
on colour and colour grids and tone. This is essential to understand in order to achieve a pleasing overall effect of your artwork. There are A
a few helpful exercise such as negative painting and monochrome painting, and these will all help further the aim of feeling competent
to create your own artwork. He then goes on to show one of his own paintings and how the differing techniques were used within it. Its
very useful to see how they all work in harmony on the finished work. T

Jeremy, like most artists, feels a sketch book is an essential tool for capturing scenes that may be useful reference for later artworks. The
main focus of the book is on three very detailed easy to follow demonstrations, each using some or all of the techniques he has so clearly I
explained. Each demonstration contains clear instructions on paper, brushes and colours so that it is very easy to re-create following
Jeremy's methods. O

This book would be an excellent reference tool for anyone new to watercolour with its clear, easy to follow instructions that will allow
even a novice to watercolour to create beautiful artworks. N
