Geoff Kersey shows people who have never picked up a paintbrush how to paint convincing watercolour landscapes using just 3 colours; 3 brushes; a plastic palette and a watercolour pad. Only 3 affordable Studentsrsquo; range watercolour paints are used: light red; cadmium yellow pale and ultramarine blue; yet from these; Geoff shows how 9 realistic watercolour scenes can be painted. There is no colour theory or long-winded mixing information to put off the first-time painter; but a practical absolute beginners course that shows the three colours in action. Only 3 affordable brushes are needed: no. 10; no. 4 and no. 2 rounds in a synthetic range; to achieve all of the paintings shown. Starting from the simplest of scenes; Geoff Kersey builds skills through 9 easy exercises; resulting in landscapes to be proud of. 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. Clear advice and step-by-step photographs show how to add a simple figure to a scene and how to trace and transfer the basic drawings from the finished paintings; which are shown full size in the book for this purpose. Readers have everything they need to get painting.
