In the tradition of the eminently practical, top-selling guides such as How to Make a Watercolor Paint Itself (9780823099771) and Problem Solving for Oil Painters (9780823040971), this straightforward handbook offers a fresh approach to watercolour mastery that bridges the gap between theory and practice. Through thoughtful discussion, expert instruction, and in-depth step-by-step demonstrations, Leslie Frontz shows readers how to eliminate common barriers to achieve beautiful, captivating watercolour paintings. Beginning with teaching readers how to see with an artist's eye, Frontz then establishes how watercolour painters build on this skill by making timely decisions throughout the creation process.
