About this item

Geoff Kersey shows people who have never picked up a paintbrush how to paint convincing watercolor landscapes using just 3 brushes, 3 colors, a plastic palette and a watercolor pad. Only students' range watercolor paints are used in light red, cadmium yellow pale and ultramarine blue, yet from these, Geoff shows how 9 realistic watercolor scenes can be painted. There is no color theory or long-winded mixing information to put off the first-time painter, but a practical absolute beginner's course that shows the three colors in action. Only 3 affordable brushes are needed: no. 10, no. 4 and no. 2 rounds in a synthetic range, to achieve all of the paintings shown. Starting from the simplest of scenes, Geoff Kersey builds skills through 9 easy exercises, resulting in landscapes to be proud of.
