Starting by explaining colours, mixing them, pigment, quality of paints and value of varying types. There's tips on techniques and where to get started completely from scratch basically!
There's a handy guide to how to use a photograph to sketch an outline to work from to create your watercolour and how to later your painting up stage by stage.
Colourful watercolour images show how beautiful the art of watercolour painting can be. Anyone can be aided by this book in any way as we can always develop knowledge and technique more.
Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
