Built for artists who want to make progress in limited time, the book presents over 30 step-by-step exercises, with tracings provided so you can focus on painting rather than drawing. Projects are scaled for 6 x 4 watercolour pads, alongside three full-size paintings: King Charles Spaniel, Snow Leopard and Hummingbird.

Guidance covers core watercolour techniques, colour mixing and creating neutrals, as well as mark-making, highlights and shadows. You’ll also find instruction on capturing key features, textures and markings such as feathers and fur, working from photographs and life, and placing animals within landscapes including fields and woodlands. Subjects featured include a wide range of birds and animals, from parrots, swans and robins to cats, dogs, zebras, elephants, penguins, meerkats and tigers.
