Synopsis

Ten lessons to develop the artistic skills that will help you to paint great watercolours in your own personal style. Anne's vibrant watercolour style has already won many fans. This book moves beyond the simple techniques covered in Watercolour Workbook and helps those still relatively new to the medium of watercolour to build the skills necessary for artistic creativity.

The ten new lessons are set out in three sections to take readers on a progressive artistic journey. Starting with The Search for Realism, Anne provides guidance on portraying scenes realistically. Once readers are confident they can move on to the next section, Making Beautiful Images, where they are shown how to create artistic compositions using the unique properties of the medium. The final section, Finding a Personal Vision, encourages readers to develop a personal style and concentrate on their individual interests. Each lesson starts by setting out its aims clearly and is followed by clear, practical advice and plenty of useful tips. Anne Elsworth has a colourful and accessible style of painting, which is known to thousands through her previous book Watercolour Workbook. She also teaches regular watercolour classes and holiday courses, and frequently contributes articles to Leisure Painter magazine. She lives near Bingley, West Yorkshire.
