Synopsis

This workshop-based manual sets out to help readers extend their watercolour practice, using key techniques and alternative methods to encourage personal interpretation. Projects are explained in clear stages, showing how dramatic effects can be built and then adapted in your own work.

As the exercises become progressively more challenging, the subjects move from loose wildflower meadows and textured woodland to rustic walls and atmospheric or semi-abstract landscape corners. Alongside expressive mark-making, Blockley demonstrates unusual processes such as combining water-based paint and ink with granulation medium, drawing with twigs, using gesso and collage, manipulating paint with plastic wrap (clingfilm), and creating printed marks with found materials. Suitable for those new to watercolour as well as intermediate painters.
