Synopsis

This richly illustrated, highly informative compilation of four of the successful Watercolour Tips & Techniques books explores the versatility and beauty of watercolours in depth, and shows how to create all the elements for successful landscape painting. With over 20 detailed step-by-step demonstrations and a wealth of information, the authors cover every aspect of this exciting medium in an easy-to-follow, inspirational way.
Richard Bolton starts off with expert advice on all the techniques needed for creating good pictures, from laying initial washes to adding atmosphere and detail. Skies affect all the main aspects of a landscape, because they set the whole mood of a scene and Geoff Kersey follows on, showing how to capture a sense of place. Water is an important element and Joe Francis Dowden includes everything you need to know about streams, rivers, canals, seas and more. Finally, Janet Whittle shows how to paint flowers and plants in a whole range of different landscapes. This book is an invaluable addition to any artist's library, with the authors revealing secrets and offering excellent advice to anyone interested in this subject, whatever their skill levels.
This book comprises material from Painting Landscapes & Nature; Painting Flowers & Plants; Painting Skies and Painting Water.
