Synopsis

Built around 52 year-round projects, this book introduces beginners to watercolour through clear, step-by-step exercises that develop technique as you paint. Each weekly project draws inspiration from a wide range of subjects, including landscapes and other environments, as well as animals, people and plants.

Along the way, it focuses on core skills such as controlling water flow, mixing colour, and using detailed brushstrokes to create texture and definition. Suitable for beginners looking for a structured, week-by-week approach to learning watercolour.
