This fresh, colourful painting course is ideal for all aspiring watercolour artists: gain confidence with your brush, experiment through guided exercises and discover your own style. The author’s simple yet inspiring approach can take any painter’s work to the next level, and can be applied to any subject.

  • Start with the basics: shape, tone, colour and edges. These concepts, and how to use, play with and explore them, are explained in clear, practical language.
  • Learn through doing with step-by-step exercises, 6 paint-along projects and a number of jumping-off points for your own ideas. All the necessary details of brushwork, paint mixing and application are included.

  • Learn to paint anything: apply the author's loose, expressive style to animals, people, street scenes, landscapes and still life.
