Description

Matthew Palmer is renowned for his beautiful, detailed paintings and his ability to teach effective painting using simple, friendly, step-by-step techniques. This revised and updated anniversary edition celebrates ten years since this best-selling book was first published.

In addition to the time-proven instruction of the original it includes three brand-new projects, over a dozen new or updated exercises and techniques, over 30 brand-new finished paintings plus fresh tips that Matthew has learned over the past decade. The book contains:

Key advice for every beginner, including a guide to paint and paper and a handy brushstroke comparison guide
Essential techniques including drawing (from life and from photographs), composition, easy perspective, using light and shade and mixing colour
Watercolour techniques including washes, layering, wet-into-wet, lifting out and using masking fluid, plus in-depth step-by-step projects for painting a variety of skies, trees, reflections and figures
Six simple step-by-step painting exercises, and six further step-by-step projects, including a seascape, snow scene and a mountain landscape
Pull-out outline drawings for all the step-by-step exercises and paintings (Matthew shows step-by-step how to transfer these onto watercolour paper)
