Artist Katie Putt, New Designers'One to Watch' (London, 2019), guides you through simple step-by-step instructions for 30 mini-masterpieces.Each of the 10 chapters in this book is based around a different 3-colour palette, from jewel brights to Scandi calm. You'll need just 3 'pure' paint colours to make a start. From these, you will learn how to mix a surprising range of different colours - every hue you'll need to complete the 3 easy-to-follow watercolour projects in each chapter, which range fromanimals, flowers and plants to baked goods and more.

By working with 3-colour palettes, you'll get to know each different colour of paint intimately. You'll gain an understanding of how different colours interact when mixed or layered, and you'll become a pro when it comes to the different characteristics of dark and light washes. By the time you've completed the projects in this book, you'll have a sixth sense for colour.
