A how-to compendium of watercolour methods and techniques, along with ideas for exercising new-found skills and step-by-step demonstrations. The text includes advice on choosing materials, composition and perspective, colour and tone, watercolour washes and the practicalities of outdoor painting.
This better than as I was hoping for. After reading just the first page I started getting motivated to paint. Now that I've finished the book I can't wait to start! I've even decided to devote time to cleaning out and organizing a room to turn it into an arts and crafts studio!

After seeing the number of painting books by Smith I took to him to be an authority. I found it straight forward and easy to follow. Lots of instuction and tips. A bit above the understanding level of my 7 year old daughter but perfect for me to graduate from painting by number. Seems to cover just about all one would neeed to know in order to take up the past time.
