The WATERCOLOUR Book: How to Paint Anything

The WATERCOLOUR Book (How to Paint Anything) is based on a six week course devised by Eleanor Mann. Eleanor identified six key areas in which beginners to watercolour struggle, only to realise that these key areas remain a challenge to all artists to a greater or lesser degree. The book covers all aspects of watercolour painting, from choosing and buying essential equipment to exciting ways in which ordinary inexpensive household items can be adapted to produce amazing results. Watercolour has the reputation of being the most difficult medium to work in but with this book you will quickly achieve successful results. Eleanor concentrates less on teaching how to paint a particular subject and more on teaching technique, giving you the ability to paint any subject you like. There are exercises to help you gain confidence and better understand the paint and its unique qualities. This is the secret to painting in watercolour. Everything has been broken down and explained to help you build up a workbook of reference material which you can refer back to in the future. There are step-by-step demonstrations with photographs of Eleanor's workbook. This is a reference book filled with comprehensive information, advice and explanations for both experienced artists and beginners.
