Use the pre-printed outlines on the watercolour paper provided to create
six beautiful coastal landscapes from within the UK and Europe - and
learn all the skills you need to become an accomplished artist.
This inspiring book on painting coastal landscapes is part of the
exciting and innovative Paint Pad Artist series. Whether a beginner or
more experienced artist, you will be amazed at how quickly you will
acquire the skills needed to produce beautiful paintings, and with the
initial outlines for the six stunning projects provided on watercolour
paper, you can start creating amazing works of art straight away.
Written by professional artist, Charles Evans, this guide begins with
notes on how to use the pre-printed watercolour paper to achieve the
best results, and how to make copies of the outlines should you want to
attempt the projects again. Following this there is a short 'what you
need' section, enabling you to gather together the paints, brushes and
basic equipment required to start painting, and some brief guidance on
general techniques such as how to hold the brush, how to add water to
your paint and how to mix the colours, plus how to capture reflections
on the water, and shadows on the land. The six stunning step-by-step
projects that follow build in difficulty as you work through the book,
introducing new techniques as they are used and incorporating numerous
handy hints and tips from expert artist and instructor Charles Evans, to
help you progress on your painting journey.
The six sheets of watercolour paper are pre-printed with the initial
outline drawing for each of the projects, enabling you to start painting
straight away and giving you the best possible chance of achieving a
successful painting.
