Take Three Colours: Watercolour Seascapes: Start to paint with 3 colours, 3 brushes and 9 easy projects

Geoff Kersey shows how to paint convincing seascapes in watercolour using just three brushes, three colours, a plastic palette and a watercolour pad.

Only students’ range watercolour paints are used, yet from these Geoff shows how to paint nine realistic seascape scenes in watercolour. There is no off-putting colour theory or long-winded mixing information, but a practical absolute beginner’s course that shows the three colours in action. Readers need only three affordable brushes: no. 10, no. 4 and no. 2 rounds in a synthetic range, to achieve all of the paintings shown. Geoff Kersey builds readers' skills through nine easy exercises, starting from the simplest of scenes, resulting in seascapes they will be proud of. With clear advice, step-by-step photographs showing simple techniques and how to trace and transfer the basic drawings from the finished paintings, which are shown full size in the book for this purpose, readers will have everything they need to get painting.
