Mastering the Watercolour Wash (Hardcover)

The wash is the most fundamental of all watercolour techniques, yet few amateur painters ever really learn how to control and make use of it to their best advantage. This book explores this particular way of putting watercolour on paper through a series of clear, simple and instructive step-by-step demonstrations. Starting with an introduction to the medium, readers are shown the techniques behind the four basic washes and their primary uses. The book then branches out to show how to use these washes in combination, and how to create textures and special effects in your paintings. Packed with easy-to-follow demonstrations and inspiring watercolour paintings. Mastering the Watercolour Wash is an essential practical guide for watercolourists of all levels of ability.
