Watercolours

In this beautifully produced book, artist and teacher David Webb shares his expertise to provide comprehensive guidance for anyone painting in watercolour, from beginners up.

How-to techniques are at the heart of the book and feature detailed explanations and demonstrations that will get you progressing fast, with a real understanding of the medium. Included in this section are ‘Help!’ panels that focus on what can go wrong: the typical mistakes made and how you can avoid them.

Readers will also discover the widest possible range of watercolour techniques thanks to our team of internationally recognised guest artists, who will be revealing some of their painting secrets in a series of ‘life lessons’ – how they appear to get the paint to really glow and their paintings to spring into life.
