Description
O
Geoff Kersey shows people who have never picked up a paintbrush how to paint convincing watercolour landscapes using just 3
colours, 3 brushes, a plastic palette and a watercolour pad. Only 3 affordable Students’ range watercolour paints are used: light red,
cadmium yellow pale and ultramarine blue; yet from these, Geoff shows how 9 realistic watercolour scenes can be painted. There is no R
colour theory or long-winded mixing information to put off the first-time painter, but a practical absolute beginner's course that shows
the three colours in action. Only 3 affordable brushes are needed: no. 10, no. 4 and no. 2 rounds in a synthetic range, to achieve all of M
the paintings shown. Starting from the simplest of scenes, Geoff Kersey builds skills through 9 easy exercises, resulting in landscapes to be
proud of. Start with a simple sky and progress through a basic scene with a reflected sunset, to landscapes that include simple buildings
and even a figure. Clear advice and step-by-step photographs show how to add a simple figure to a scene and how to trace and transfer
the basic drawings from the finished paintings, which are shown full size in the book for this purpose. Readers have everything they need A
to get painting.
