Part of the Anyone Can Paint series from Search Press, Grahame Booth's Anyone Can Paint Watercolour Landscapes has been reimagined from his previously published book, The Paint Pad Artist: Watercolour Landcapes. Six projects are included, increasing in difficulty as you progress and outlines for each are provided with step-by-step instructions from Grahame to help you produce your own impressive landscapes.
Short 'what you need' sections organise your workstation and the ready-made outlines allow you to get painting straight away. There's helpful advice on general techniques, mixing colours and on how to frame and display your work. Grahame Booth is an inspiring and experienced tutor and he shares plenty of tips and handy hints along the way. * Leisure Painter, October 2023 *
