A fun and fearless approach to watercolour painting for beginners that incorporates technique demos, exercises, online companion video content a true workshop book, including the student perspective.|This book will give the basic knowledge, skills and techniques to beginners so they can start painting with watercolours, with an emphasis on fun, experimentation and forgiveness of the medium.
Watercolour is a medium that is often perceived as intimidating and very technical but it can (and should!) be approached in a much more relaxed and experimental way.
For each technique, there will be several options to choose from as there isn't only one right way that works with watercolour; it is perfectly acceptable for the artist to change her approach and techniques depending on the subject. Fearless Watercolour gives the reader a choice of painting techniques, a tool box from which they can choose what they would like to try, again encouraging fun and experimentation.
To make the content easier, more engaging and livelier to read, sidebars will pose direct questions, questions like: "Does all that really matter?" "What can go wrong?" "What to watch for?" "I messed up, what can I do?"
