Watercolours in a Weekend by Frank Halliday

Beginners recognize that they need to acquire basic painting skills - but at the same time they are eager to produce a finished painting that they can hang on their walls. This popular 'weekend' formula allows them to do just that - to build skills gradually and produce an attractive, frameable painting in a limited amount of time. The author starts by introducing the materials required for painting watercolour landscapes, then leads readers through a series of initial techniques designed to provide a basic grounding in the skills required for this subject area. This instruction is followed by eight short courses for painting a range of popular landscape subjects: skies and clouds; water; moutains and lakes; trees and foliage; buildings and textures; reflections in the landscape; winter landscapes; summer landscapes. Each course starts with practice exercises to be completed on the Saturday - readers are then ready to complete the full watercolour painting on the Sunday. Clear instructions accompany step-by-step photographs throughout, and technical information is given in special feature boxes.
Frank Halliday runs landscape painting courses from his home in Norfolk and demonstrates to art societies throughout England. He works for Winsor & Newton as a demonstrator and also teaches workshops for The Artist and Leisure Painter magazines. He has written one previous watercolour book and has made four watercolour painting videos. He lives in Felthorpe, Norfolk.
