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.
