Watercolour for the Absolute Beginner: The Society for All Artists

A comprehensive course in watercolour landscape painting by a professional TV and YouTube artist and tutor. The book begins with excellent advice for the beginner, including easy drawing for painting, composition, easy perspective, light and shade, colour, and how to paint skies, trees, water and figures in watercolour. There are then six simple step-by-step painting exercises, and each exercise leads into a more developed step-by-step painting project, including a windmill, seascape, snow scene, mountains and lakes, bluebell stream and an all-rounder featuring a landscape with buildings and figures. The exercises are ideal for beginners and the main projects will also build skills for improving artists. A pull-out outline drawing is provided for every exercise and main project, and Matthew shows step by step how to transfer these onto watercolour paper. Like best-selling artist, Terry Harrison, Matthew has an accessible style, plenty of tips and tricks for beginners and his own range of brushes and colours to make things easier (though readers can use alternatives).
