## Description

In Watercolour Landscapes for the Absolute Beginner , artist and teacher Matthew Palmer guides beginners through their first steps in watercolour and shows what incredible landscapes can be achieved in this exciting medium. Step-by-step exercises, mini projects and six longer projects help you to build essential skills and allow you to produce a range of landscapes you will be proud of. Vital drawing skills are explained and demonstrated, along with key techniques such as how to use resists; colour mixing; painting natural-looking foliage; using the dry-brush technique to create intricate detail, and using scratch-out techniques to add sparkle and movement to water. The exercises are ideal for beginners and the main projects will also build skills for improving artists. Matthew has an accessible style, with plenty of tips and tricks for beginners to make things easier. A huge wealth of finished paintings provide ideas and inspiration for your own future watercolour landscapes. Full-size pull-out outlines are provided for the final projects. Includes material previously published in Matthew Palmer's Step-by-Step Guide to Watercolour Painting (2018), but with the addition of three brilliant new projects, many new illustrations and extensive textual revisions.

Review: Beautifully illustrated & with step by step tuition suitable for beginners - I recently joined an art class. We are currently trying out watercolours so I decided to buy a book to help me. This book is aimed at absolute beginners like me and the tuition is set at an appropriate level. It is beautifully illustrated and has the most gorgeous photos. I have now painted a few of the photographs in the book. Step by step tuition is provided for each project and the photos have been selected as being feasible for beginners to attempt. This is a great book which I heartily recommend.
Review: Very helpful - Practical and explained in steps which felt achievable and inspiring
