{"product_id":"absolute-beginner-artisbn-9781844488255","title":"ABSOLUTE BEGINNER ART","description":"This book is a comprehensive course in watercolour landscape painting by expert Society of All Artists tutor, Matthew Palmer. Matthew is renowned for his beautiful, detailed paintings and his ability to teach effective painting using simple techniques. He teaches over 150 pupils per week and also appears regularly on TV. The book begins with excellent advice for the beginner, including, easy drawing for painting, composition, easy perspective, light and shade, colour, and how to paint skies, tree, water and figures in watercolour. There are then six simple step by step painting exercises, and each exercise leads into a more developed step by step painting project, including a windmill, seascape, snow scene, mountains and lakes, bluebell stream and an all-rounder featuring a landscape with buildings and figures. The exercises are ideal for beginners and the main projects will also build skills for improving artists. A pull-out outline drawing is provided for every exercise and main project, and Matthew shows step by step how to transfer these onto watercolour paper. Like best-selling artist, Terry Harrison, Matthew has an accessible style, plenty of tips and tricks for beginners and his own range of brushes and colours to make things easier (though readers can use alternatives).Introduction 6\u003cbr\u003e  Materials 8\u003cbr\u003e  Easy drawing for painting 12\u003cbr\u003e  Composition 16\u003cbr\u003e  Easy perspective 18\u003cbr\u003e  Light \u0026amp;amp; shade 22\u003cbr\u003e  Colour 26\u003cbr\u003e  Watercolour techniques 30\u003cbr\u003e  Painting skies 36\u003cbr\u003e  Painting trees 40\u003cbr\u003e  Painting water 48\u003cbr\u003e  Painting figures 52\u003cbr\u003e  Your first watercolour 56\u003cbr\u003e  Seascape 70\u003cbr\u003e  Snow scene 80\u003cbr\u003e  Mountains and lakes 92\u003cbr\u003e  Waterfalls 104\u003cbr\u003e  All rounder 116\u003cbr\u003e  Index 128Matthew Palmer is one of the Society for all Artists' most renowned demonstrators, and his classes are particularly popular with beginners.
