Watercolours in a Weekend: Pick Up a Brush and Paint Your First Picture This Weekend

Readers who have never even picked up a paint brush will be amazed at what they can accomplish with the help of this one-of-a-kind instruction manual. Watercolours in a Weekend can teach anyone the essential skills needed to paint a complete watercolor picture in a single weekend. Structured around six short courses for painting popular subjects, these projects provide a complete beginner's art course. Each one begins with practice exercises, covering a wide range of watercolor techniques. Readers are then ready to complete a full watercolor painting in a day. The step-by-step demonstrations for the paintings use only the techniques learned from the exercises, and a palette of mixed paint and a color swatch accompany each step. Hazel Harrison is an accomplished art-instruction writer with many books to her credit.
