Classic Techniques for Watercolour Landscapes

by Ray Campbell Smith

Here, Campbell Smith demonstrates how to choose the right techniques for your landscape subjects. He starts from the premise that once you have mastered a very small number of classic watercolour techniques, you have an arsenal of skills that will allow you to paint anything you choose. The first part of the book consists of an introduction to tools and materials along with step-by-step technical demonstrations that you can practice at your leisure.

Nice techniques, but Smith's palette is browner than I like
