Structured and practical in approach, this unique resource includes numerous exercises that will help students learn proper painting techniques from the start. An initial introduction addresses the basic aspects of watercolor painting, while later sections challenge artists to develop sketches, studies, and eventually full works. Twelve demonstration pictures are accompanied by step-by-step instructions that pinpoint the use of key techniques and methods. Beautifully illustrated with David Bellamy"s own evocative landscapes, this is the perfect reference for any aspiring painter.
