Featuring 16 original teaching worksheets, this new, beautifully illustrated guide makes the art of watercolor easy, and a joy for beginners. Using minimum tools and the simplest color palettes, it introduces students to the most popular watercolor subjects--trees, cottages, landscapes, and flowers--and demonstrates a wide range of techniques, including dry brushing, watermarking, and jigsaw painting. As budding watercolorists progress from brushstrokes for Wild Roses to an atmospheric painting of a Misty Morning, they develop an eye for composition and confidence to go on to produce, on site, impressive, original images of their own.
