Coastal Scenes in Watercolour comprises 10 seaside tutorials, from ships in a harbour and fishing nets on a beach, to clifftop seabirds and a wetland estuary.

This book is a perfect introduction for beginners, offering a range of illustrated step-by-step tutorials which will show the reader how to paint a variety of different coastal scenes without overloading them with excessive detail.

Watercolour is especially suited for coastal scenes because its translucent washes help to capture the soft, shifting qualities of the oceans and hazy horizons, and this comprehensive beginner's guide offers the right tools, instructions and inspiration needed to get started. It features ten different subjects, each of which are broken down into four easy-to-follow, illustrated stages. Each of these are accompanied by tips and advice for the different elements of the scene, and there are templates for each scene to help set up the initial composition. The experience and skills you will build up by working through the book will give you the confidence to paint your very own coastal scenes.

This book is designed to act not only as a guide to painting coastal scenes, but an introduction to watercolour painting in general, offering information on basic equipment, useful techniques, and sketchbook practice.

AUTHOR: Lois Davidson is a watercolour artist from the South-East of England, with over 40 years of experience. She has been painting professionally since 2020, and was shortlisted for the Jackson's Painting Prize in 2021. Her creative interests are focused primarily around her local coastal landscapes, from which she draws constant inspiration. She now runs a successful YouTube art channel alongside her daughter, demonstrating traditional and experimental watercolour techniques, with a focus on loose landscape painting. Her art is her way of connecting with overlooked areas within the landscape through the medium of ink and watercolour. Alongside her painting tutorials, Lois also runs a popular art community online, offering guidance and more in-depth learning opportunities. She has exhibited her work locally, and her paintings have sold around the globe.
