Take Three Colours: Watercolour Landscapes

This absolute beginner’s guide to watercolour painting shows you how to create beautiful landscapes using basic, affordable materials.

Geoff Kersey explains the fundamental principles of watecolour painting, demonstrating how first-time painters can achieve satisfying results with just three colours, three brushes, a plastic palette and a watercolour pad. Using inexpensive and easy-to-find paints—light red, cadmium yellow pale, and ultramarine blue—Geoff shows how nine realistic watercolour scenes can be painted.

Starting from the simplest of scenes, Geoff builds skills through the series of projects. Start with a simple sky and progress through a basic scene with a reflected sunset, to landscapes that include simple buildings and even a figure. With clear advice and step-by-step photographs, this volume offers everything you need to get painting.
