Coastal Landscapes: in Watercolour
Author(s): Tony Cowlishaw
The Ready to Paint series provides six tracings for readers to pull out and transfer on to watercolour paper. There is one for each of the five step-by-step demonstrations, plus a bonus tracing of the inspirational painting in the Introduction section, and full instructions on how to transfer the images. People who want to learn to paint without relying on their drawing skills have everything they need in this book. Tony Cowlishaw has created five beautiful paintings of typical seascapes, with a variety of moods from stormy to tranquil. The paintings are varied in scope and cover craggy cliffs and open bays. The tracings and clear step-by-step photographs explain the painting process in great depth and make it easy for readers to reproduce all of the projects.

More About The Product
Tony Cowlishaw is a new author to me, but a worthwhile find. He has a soft, delicate touch that eschews (here at least) strong colours and his style should gain him many fans. With the usual tracings and step-by-step demonstrations, the book features five typical, not to say iconic, English coastal scenes and is an excellent primer in painting this kind of subject.-Artbookreview.net
