Praise for fellow series title, The Colour Mixing Guide: Watercolour Botanicals:
'Why so happy? Because it's so good. Where previous guides of this type (all of them) have gone for quantity, this very much goes for quality and relevance. I'd class this as pretty much a must-have.' – Henry Malt, artbookreview.net
This colourful, practical book features 15 vibrant and varied woodland subjects including a cherry blossom tree, tiger moth, olive tree, silver birches, and a barn owl. Each subject includes a comprehensive list of colour mixes with ratios and finished swatches for inspiration. Five of these subjects are shown step by step so you can follow the process of selecting colours, mixing, and painting from start to finish.
