Charlies Top Tips for Watercolour Artists: over 100 essential tips to improve your painting
An 96-page, A5-size, spiral-bound book by Charles Evans.
Charlie Evans is a highly experienced artist. His exuberant personality and unique gift for explaining his techniques in clear and simple terms make him a highly popular and well-liked tutor and demonstrator, and he spends his life travelling throughout the UK running art classes and appearing in his long-running TV series.
In this book he passes on his knowledge and expertise in his own, accessible style, giving the reader the confidence and know-how to produce beautiful, evocative watercolour paintings of their own. It includes tips on everything from choosing which colours and brushes to buy, to how to paint skies, water, texture and buildings. He uses a limited palette and limited number of brushes. The tips are clearly explained and illustrated using both step-by-step demonstrations and finished paintings. They will help unravel the mysteries of the watercolour medium for those new to painting and also for more experienced watercolourists on the lookout for tips from a master.
