A Beginner’s Guide to Watercolour with Mixed Media - Alison C. Board

Written by Alison C. Board, A Beginner’s Guide to Watercolour with Mixed Media is a paperback guide for artists who want to expand their watercolour practice by introducing other mediums. Designed to make mixed media feel approachable, it explains the range of media available and outlines how to use materials in a brief, clear way—helping beginners navigate what can otherwise feel like an overwhelming choice.

Across six step-by-step projects, the book encourages experimentation through a mix of wet and dry media, alongside ideas for creating vibrant collages using man-made and natural found objects. Finished paintings provide inspiration as you work, with subjects including flowers, animal portraits, dancers in motion, cityscapes and landscapes. With an emphasis on exploring and embracing the process, it’s a practical companion for anyone ready to take watercolour in new directions.
