Watercolour Work-out

Analyzing 50 of his watercolours, and tracking his methods and technique along the way, the author suggests how to approach painting sessions to get improved results. Describing how he proceeds from the moment he first sees a scene to putting the final touches to the painting, he discusses the importance of preliminary sketches, planning the approach carefully, and simplifying the scene effectively. Ray Campbell Smith was an art teacher for many years before taking up painting full-time. He has written seven previous books on art and made eight instructional videos, and is a regular contributor to "Leisure Painter" magazine.
