Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Watercolour Landscapes is the perfect companion for the watercolour landscape painter. Richard S. Taylor meticulously examines each element of the landscape in turn.

He transitions from small details, such as a quick painting of his backpack during a break from walking, to wide, sweeping panoramas. The book includes detailed annotations pointing out key areas of interest for each painting. For example, it shows how a wash has been used to create shadows in still water or how paper has been left blank to represent the tops of clouds.

Alongside each painting, you'll find a palette of colours used, alongside advice on combining colours for the best effect. Step-by-step demonstrations display basic watercolour techniques in action, and longer projects reveal how Richard develops a fully-realised painting.

Packed with invaluable hints and tips and illustrated with the author's inspiring watercolours, this book is perfect for both beginner and more experienced watercolour painters.
