Book DescriptionThe emphasis of this exciting new watercolor title is on "show me" instruction rather than "tell me." Accordingly, everything possible has been illustrated in graphic terms. Author Malcolm Beattie begins with a simple overview of classic watercolor techniques, perfect for beginning and advanced painters alike.
