Complete guide

Previously published in hardback, this new softbacked edition of David Webb’s Complete Guide to Watercolour tells you everything you will ever need to know about the medium. David is an experienced artist and teacher, and his lively explanations and demonstrations will help both experienced artists, and those new to the medium, find inspiration. Opening with chapters on materials and techniques, the book moves on to making pictures, covering composition, perspective, colour and mood. A section titled Expressing Form & Surface, includes specific elements of subject matter, such as landscapes, texture, and figures and portraits. The final chapter concentrates on different artists’ approaches to watercolour, which provides a fascinating insight into the possibilities and variety of this beautiful medium.
