The Watercolour Sourcebook is a compilation of four selected titles
from the What to Paint series, chosen specially to illustrate the
wide range of scenes and subjects that can be captured in
watercolour. The works of four master watercolourists - Geoff
Kersey, Terry Harrison, Peter Woolley and Wendy Tait - are brought
together in a collection of 60 beautiful, detailed projects on the
subjects of trees, woodlands and forests; landscapes; hills and
mountains and flowers respectively. Each project results in a full
painting that is accompanied at the end of the book by a full-size
outline that can be copied and applied to the artist's own
watercolour paper using tracedown paper and pencil. The Watercolour
Sourcebook aims to provide a wealth of inspiration to the painter
who struggles to decide upon their subject matter, and arms the
artist with everything they need to know about what they're about
to paint, from colour palette to useful techniques.

This is a hands-on guide to learning to draw in perspective. It is
partly about learning to draw a set of straight lines that meet at
a point. And it's partly about learning to look at what is around
you, and spot where those invisible straight lines might be
located. It's a book for anyone who wants to draw or paint-in any
genre and in any medium. And it's not weighed down with theory -
although everything you will need to know is explained. Most of
all, it gives you exercises to play with. You can put your
observational skills to the test with the "image quiz"
features-where you take a pen and draw in all the vanishing points
onto the book itself. Or use the special "perspective chambers" to
draw objects onto an existing scene, keeping it all in the right
perspective: think of it as a kind of 3D doodling. By the time you
get to the end of the book, you will understand how perspective
works and be able to apply it intuitively without a ruler or
drafting table. The whole concept will feel like a sixth sense. And
you can get on with being creative. There is also a 30-page
workbook to put your skills to the test!
