Taking beginning artists and armchair travelers across the rocky, ancient landscape and blue waterways of the Mediterranean, this step-by-step watercolor tutorial includes five carefully selected scenes that evoke this beloved region of Europe, West Asia, and North Africa. Each project captures the stark heat and subtle beauty of the rich Mediterranean Basin with scenes that include a palm-fringed beach and a Tuscan farm, a domed Greek Orthodox church overlooking the blue sea, and a bicycle parked beneath bougainvillea on a sleepy, sunlit street. Author Geoff Kersey complements each original composition with reassuring advice and clear instructions that emphasize every detail. Tracing papers are included for each scene—requiring just a soft graphite pencil and a rubbing tool to transfer the basic layout—so getting started is quick and easy.
