Book - You Can Paint Watercolors: A Step-By-Step Guide for Absolute Beginners

by Alwyn Crawshaw. Paperback, 96 pages, published 2000. Roughly 8 x 10 inches. Printed in Italy. Excellent used condition. No scribbles, no torn or missing pages, and the cover and spine are in great shape, everything intact. "With 200 color illustrations, this user-friendly how-to book can turn an absolute beginner of any age, who has never held a paintbrush before, into a proud watercolor painter. The book opens on basics, as readers are shown the range of watercolors and how to mix them. Then simple wash techniques and the painting of light and shadows are presented. Next, step-by-step demonstrations illustrate how to paint separate features of a still life or landscape—fruit, vegetables, flowers, trees, and skies—then how to combine these elements into lovely watercolor paintings. Alwyn Crawshaw, a top television artist in England and popular author of art instruction, is known for his particular expertise in teaching beginners." A clear and practical book with beautiful illustrations that I bought many years ago. Time for it to help out someone new who's looking to learn painting techniques. 🤓 🎨
