How to Paint WATER COLOUR WASHES
 
a DVD is availalble to accompany this book
This is a lovely book packed full of information about colours, using colour, and creating colourful watercolours. There is a section on a variety of techniques such as washes on wet and dry paper, laying a wash within a shape, negative painting, merging and moving colour on wet paper. I also cover sketchbook use and using photos to create a painting. There are four step by step projects, each one takes you through the painting process step by step.

This is the beach project which I hope will inspire you to include figures in your paintings and perhaps using the same techniques add people you know into your work. You can use family photos and change the subjects. I have included a section in the book on using photos which you may also find useful.
The Amarylis project is the most challenging, using wet in wet techniques and allowing the paint to move freely across the paper, I love allowing colours to run!

All stages are clearly photographed and described offering you the best possible chance of success. This coupled with the line layouts which I am providing for you mean you can experiment with your painting techniques without the need to draw too well.
The street scene is a lovely project encouraging you to let the paint run, one section into another. This is less difficult than you would imagine.
I have really enjoyed creating this book and working with Search Press has been very enjoyable.



30 minute Watercolours by Fiona Peart

This is a lovely little book. There are over 100 colour images to inspire you to use watercolours, as well as 4 step-by-step projects.
I use just the minimum of equiptment (just three brushes) limited colours (sometimes just two!) and all the paintings are done within 30 minutes. The whole idea is to complete a picture quickly and simply without fuss!

Review

G'day this is not an enquiry - I just wanted to tell you how much I like your book 'Watercolours'. Yesterday I met with a couple of watercolour beginners (like myself) and told them that if I had to chose just one book to keep out of the very many art instruction books I have, your little book would be my choice. I think the brightness and light in your work is closer to the colouring and light here in Australia than most of the other English, European or US books we see in the shops. So, thank you very much and I look forward to your next publication. Regards, Patricia.

This delightful compact A5 size hard back book, just perfect to slip into your art bag.
