Watercolour workshop II - Glynis Barnes-Mellish

Everything you need to know to improve your watercolour skills in 12 easy steps

Watercolour Workshop II is for artists who want to improve their skills.

Starting with materials and techniques, warm-up exercises encourage you to build your expertise and confidence. Easy-to-follow step-by-step projects designed to train your eye and develop your skills show you what to do, and demonstrate key techniques used to create light, mood, perspective and balance.

Clear explanations of the principles of watercolours encourage you to tackle subjects ranging from simple studies to city scapes and portraits, while "building the image" illustrations provide at-a-glance overviews of the projects.

Galleries of contemporary artwork demonstrate how successful artists approach different topics from depicting a fairground at night to a still life of food with tips helping you to develop your personal style.

A fresh approach to practical art helping you achieve the best results.
