This fabulous book is a combination of four of Search Press’ most popular titles on watercolour. It’s a must-have if you don’t already have the original titles. Discover how to paint landscapes with Richard Bolton, skies with Geoff Kersey, water with Joe Francis Dowden as well as plants and flowers with one of my favourite artists, Janet Whittle. There are 22 detailed step-by-step paintings for you to reproduce. Apart from that, if you are a beginner, there is plenty of know-how in the basics section. Along the way, there are also useful tips and techniques. The book also highlights many finished paintings, which serve as inspiration. It has wide appeal and is a good all-rounder.
