Watercolour: Techniques and Tutorials for the Complete Beginner

This book is amazing! I have so many books lying around that I will never open, but this book is a work of art in itself. It explains everything you need to know as a beginner in a very clear way, and it is not boring. It also has amazing paintings inside. I have seen the author's YouTube tutorials and was amazed at how clearly he explains watercolour techniques such as lines and washes. If it costs a few pounds more than the Kindle version on Amazon, buy the paper version — it's an amazing book to have or pass on to someone else when you've finished with it.

I love Paul Clark's teaching style; he has been very helpful to me as a beginner. I've watched and learned from his YouTube channel, but I got the book because sometimes I do not have internet. There is a calmness in the cadence of his teaching online and it comes through in his writing as well

explains everything you need to know

Paul Clark, clearly an accomplished artist, writer and educator, has pulled out all the stops to create a first class guide for aspiring watercolourists. Techniques, tips and materials are covered logically and progressively through a series of delightful projects, all illustrated with his own beautiful work. Mouth-watering stuff - I can’t wait to get started! It’s wonderful value for a tenner, too, printed on good quality paper and the illustrations superbly reproduced.

The previous excellent reviews helped me choose this book. Just starting to follow it after purchasing my art tools. Great that it gives low cost alternatives that will still produce quality work. Steps and instructions so easy to follow. The advice on ‘stretching’ your paper before starting, really works! Thoroughly recommend this book if you’re starting out or trying to improve your painting skills.

This arrived today, it is a fantastic book, really impressed with the information about equipment, the use of minimal colours. The projects are well explained, really can’t wait to get started.
