Description

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 watercolour's 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 Pikesley's dramatic paintings and drawing on his experience as a leading teacher, this book offers thoughtful advice and instruction to all artists, whatever their experience. AUTHOR: Richard Pikesley is a professional artist, and a member of the Royal Watercolour Society and New English Art Club. He is also a qualified and experienced teacher, and has led watercolour courses and painting trips for many years. 269 illustrations
