Watercolor is the first title in a new series of art instruction manuals intended to serve as fast-reference sources for students and amateur artists. Each title focuses on a specific art medium, with the book's entire content taking the form of captioned, step-by-step illustrations. Each set of illustrations consists of a brief practical exercise that demonstrates a technique for the art student to master. This book's 101 watercolor exercises instruct in virtually every aspect of watercolor painting, including working with wet and dry paper, portrait and figure painting, landscapes, water scenes, creating translucent and transparent effects, and much more.
