Part of the "Learn from the Masters" series, this book features a selection of several examples of the works of Turner to illustrate how to develop watercolour painting skills. It deals with the equipment required and the basic techniques for preparation, such as paper stretching and toning the paper, and contains several detailed studies of a variety of original paintings by the master. Using simple step-by-step copying techniques, and with a useful colour palette provided with each stage, Khan-Leonhard brings the reader through each masterpiece. These techniques can then be developed using photographs and sketches for inspiration.
