Publisher's Synopsis
It doesn't take years of art lessons to create beautiful watercolours: this fabulous entry in the For the First Time« series can guide beginners to success. Featuring a clear and concise question-and-answer format, it addresses all of the basics and some advanced techniques too. Generously-sized photographs and illustrations clearly showcase every exciting procedure - including how to use basic and controlled washes; add detail to an image; and work in black and white. Best of all, as novices master the different skills; they?re also producing finished pieces that will leave them feeling proud and motivated to do more, including lovely seashells, vivid autumn leaves and a single lily. And because watercolours aren't just for framed art, there are also projects for stationery, cards, journal entries and bookmarks.
