Book excerpt: Before picking up a paintbrush, an aspiring watercolour artist must first learn how to see. Leading artist and art instructor Hilary Page shows readers how to develop that ability and how to get the art of watercolour painting right from the start. Clear, step by step lessons and how to photos help readers explore ways of seeing, drawing handling watercolour and composing a painting with the help of specific geometric forms. Lessons start with relatively simple concepts and subjects, and then progress towards the more complex techniques. This indispensable manual is ideal for beginning artists as well as a concise study programme for the experienced painter.
