Artist’s Watercolour Techniques

Watercolour is one of the most loved and most technically demanding of the painting media — a medium whose transparency, its sensitivity to the behaviour of water on paper, and its fundamental requirement that the painter work from light to dark mean that every session presents fresh challenges and fresh opportunities. DK’s Artist’s Watercolour Techniques is the comprehensive guide to mastering these challenges, covering every aspect of the medium from materials and colour mixing through fundamental washes to advanced methods of glazing, lifting, masking, and creating texture.

Step-by-step demonstrations by practising watercolourists show exactly how each technique works and what it can produce, with gallery examples that demonstrate the full range of possibility the medium offers.

Whether you are picking up brushes for the first time or deepening an existing practice, this beautifully produced guide will genuinely improve your painting. Published by DK.
