Issue 26, 2005

Another excellent book by Carole Massey. It is an excellent starter for those grown confident in drawing but not sure about the step into watercolour painting. As is usual with step-by-step books there are clear explanations about materials, excellent examples and good demonstrations that will help you build your confidence and develop skills and techniques that you can carry forward to your own work. Although uncomplicated it is not simplistic or patronising. Another success for the Step-by-step series.
