My Year in Watercolour

Discover the joy of watercolour and find wonder in the everyday with 26 beautiful painting projects inspired by the seasons. Paint your way through the year, and you'll soon master techniques such as wet-on-wet, glazes, shadows, gradients and blending. There's no need for any preparatory drawings - just jump right in! In spring, learn to paint strawberry bushes and flowers in bloom; in summer, paint sailing boats and sunbathers; for autumn, you'll find adorable squirrels and piles of fallen leaves; and in winter, cosy cups of tea and little skating figures. The more you paint, the more you'll discover that it's the imperfections and unpredictability of watercolour that make this medium so beautiful. Projects include: - Trees in Blossom - In the Vegetable Patch - Gone Fishing - A Summer Party - The Market Stall - Rainy Evenings - Snowy Landcapes - Teatime
