Description
Watercolour is a wonderful medium, but it does sometimes seem to have a "mind of its own," refusing to do quite what is required. The F

keys to success are good planning, constant practice and a thorough understanding of your materials, so if you are new to painting, start
by trying out some of the techniques and projects in this book as well as experimenting with different colour mixes and types of paper. O
Marylin Scott shares over 100 step-by-step sequences demonstrating how to paint a wide range of subjects, from landscapes to
buildings, people, and still life. She also includes tips on presenting your finished work in a professional way, building a portfolio, and
getting it seen. R

Watercolour is the trickiest painting medium to get right. The teachings in this book will really help to properly equip and to practice all
the effects that can be achieved including blending, stippling and adding lustre. As someone with some experience with watercolour
painting I think the book will still prove to be a useful guide to have at my side; so it is not necessarily for beginners only. And if, like me, A
you find it challenging to be neat with the edgings, especially when allowing the paint to bleed on the surface of the wet paper and that
this may often result in colour patches with no definition; then the subjects section in this book will be particularly helpful. The tutorial
'Exploiting Edge Qualities' is definitely worth a try. Fully recommend this book, it is well constructed and the publishing quality is T
excellent
