An excellent book for a beginner in Landscape watercolour - By: , 18 Oct 2002
While not strictly an encyclopaedia of techniques & tools the book is useful & instructive. The book is particularly suited for the beginner as it shows those starting out how to accomplish landscape painting using a range of techniques with step-by-step instructions, accompanied by pictorial examples. The first part of the book covers tools & materials along with working methods & colours. There is also a section on basic techniques which introduces & provides tips on the use of ceramic stucco, wax resists, salt crystals, sponges, mixing colours, masking & sponging. The basic techniques (such as the section on Skies) are well written & documented.

The book also includes a section of watercolour paintings by professional artists. These are very handy as they demonstrate the techniques in action.

However, I think this book would be of less use to those with more experience than myself. In Summary, I found this book to be a great starting place for someone learning to paint landscapes in watercolour.
