  This guide is designed to take the reader stage-by-stage through each important element in the understanding and practice of watercolour painting. The book begins with equipment, materials and how they are used and continues with an introduction to the basic techniques and the different effects of colour and stippling. Then, using step-by-step examples, the course presents a series of different subjects which show how a painting develops - whether a landscape, a seascape, a building, a still life composition or a portrait of a pet. Also included are alternative techniques, what to do if a painting goes wrong and advice on mounting and framing a piece of work.
