Painting Water in Watercolour (30 Minute Artist)

This book teaches watercolour artists how to paint water across a range of landscapes, from beaches and ponds to rivers and seas. Terry Harrison provides expert advice and practical techniques for creating quick, effective water paintings. The book includes two or three-step exercises covering various water effects: ripples, reflections, puddles, streams, breaking waves, choppy water, surf, bridges, riverbeds, and boats. Ten step-by-step demonstrations can each be completed in approximately thirty minutes, depicting subjects such as a misty lake, track with puddles, ford, waterfall, lazy river, stormy sea, cliffs, fisherman, sunset estuary, and fishing boat. The content is designed for beginners, busy artists, or those seeking to develop a looser painting style. Twenty-three basic exercises build confidence with water painting techniques, from rippled reflections to crashing waves and fast-flowing streams.
