This celebration of the techniques of traditional watercolour painting will tell you all you need to know.

Peter Cronin explains how to prepare your materials, plan the outline of your work and its execution as well as the requirements of both indoor and outdoor working. He even has advice on how to deal with onlookers!

In addition to a wealth of practical and technical advice, there are several complete demonstrations that deal with subjects from contre jour lighting to rain, snow and water. In an extended chapter on light and lighting, Peter includes a very handy chart of how subjects appear in different conditions from sunlight to rain, mist and snow.

Although this is not a beginner's guide, Peter explains everything clearly and patiently and you should have no trouble creating results that fully exploit the properties of the medium.
