Clear instructions and helpful tips provided throughout are perfect for beginners, but even intermediate painters will find the techniques and projects worthwhile. Watercolour painting is an absorbing, meditative art-from but many people simply don’t know where to begin. An encouraging voice and a clear, easy-to-follow approach are often all that’s needed to give people the confidence to get started and keep going. That’s exactly what this book provides. Paul Clark, an enthusiastic and accomplished painter who runs his own art school, explains the fundamentals in a friendly and accessible way. He shows readers what they really need in terms of tools and materials – starting with a limited colour palette that can be mixed to create colours as required.
