This structured course in landscape painting encourages amateur artists to paint pictures right from the start, rather than brush strokes or laying a wash. The book is divided into three main sections - the first looks at the practical aspects of watercolour painting, the second encourages students to develop their own style while the third shows how to paint the many different elements of the landscape. The course includes numerous exercises which highlight the key points covered in each chapter. 12 demonstrative paintings are included.
