Watercolour Techniques For The Artist

The use of watercolour paint may be centuries old but this practical book takes a fresh approach to explain how the artist can get the most from the medium. By unpicking techniques, it shows how watercolours simplicity and versatility can be used to capture the most detailed observations of nature or to express the most forceful of gestural painting. Featuring Richard Pikesleys dramatic paintings and drawing on his experience as a leading teacher, this book offers thoughtful advice and instruction to all artists, whatever their experience.
