  Aimed at the beginner, this text provides a step-by-step guide to the techniques of watercolour painting. The book begins with a brief introduction of materials, such as brushes, paints and paper. It then covers basic principles of composition and perspective, and discusses sketching and its importance. The author then explores how to control the medium using various techniques, how to work with negative and positive spaces when composing, and how to develop an individual style. Demonstrations have been photographed to highlight the artist's hand, so that readers can see exactly how brushes and other materials are held and manipulated in order to achieve specific results.
