Watercolour by Chris Tappenden
This book focuses solely on watercolour - a medium unlike any other and one of the most flexible, yet the medium which many find the most daunting. Looking mainly at "true" watercolour (but with guidance on gouache and acrylics too), "watercolour" shows how to exploit the properties of this distincrtive medium. It can be applied as washes to render sea and sky; billow into organic shapes reminiscent of foliage or form crisp, hard edges, or worked in a number of ways to create surface texture. In the hands of an accomplished watercolourist, the effects that can be achieved are truly astonishing. "Watercolour" shows how, through practice, anyone can achieve reasonable mastery of this wonderful medium and produce paintings of which they can be proud.
