SUCCESSFUL & CREATIVE WASHES
Barry Herniman

The wash is probably the most important element of watercolour painting and also the one which will have the most serious effect on the final result if you get it wrong. So it's perhaps all the more surprising that more books haven't been devoted to it. Maybe it's so fundamental that many teachers just say "begin with a wash" and leave it at that.

In this excellent guide, Barry will show you how to use washes in almost every situation you might need them: skies, landscapes, foregrounds, backgrounds, water and much more and with everything spelt out with detailed step-by-step illustrations. He also looks at the use of colour and how to keep sketchbook notes.
