Trevor Waugh's winning with watercolour - Trevor Waugh

In this superbly illustrated and practical book Trevor Waugh shows how to interpret and develop atmospheric watercolours by using bold brushwork, transparent washes and, most importantly, colourful lights and darks.

Colour and light provide the key to creating paintings that are exciting and full of atmosphere, and Trevor Waugh focuses on these important aspects throughout the book. He sees a painting as a 'room', for which a colour scheme needs to be chosen and in which the different elements must be carefully placed in relation to the light and the composition as a whole.
