About

Master all the techniques of watercolour with inspirational step-by-step workshops from professional artists

Whether you are just starting out with watercolour painting or want to expand your skills and raise your art to the next level, this book has all the inspiration and practical know-how you'll need.

Starting from the very basics, such as choosing the right brushes and practising colour mixes, the book proceeds to tackle every conceivable watercolour technique - from applying a flat wash to experimenting with texture. Techniques and inspiration are then combined in a wide-ranging section on subject matter - from landscapes to botanical illustration, urban scenes, portraiture, and abstraction - which examines the practical considerations of each topic and showcases numerous different approaches to try, with tutorials on achieving particular effects.

Each technique and stylistic approach is demonstrated by a professional artist working on an original painting, which is photographed at different stages of development to give rare insights into the artistic process.

Also featuring content dedicated to the use of watercolour in graphic illustration, as well as how to combine it with other painting and drawing media, Artist's Watercolour Techniques will help you to challenge yourself, try new things, and grow as an artist.
