Painting Expressive Watercolour – Bridget Woods

Watercolour offers great potential for expression. Its fluidity, full colour range, generous spread and variety of marks can portray a likeness, a response, a feeling – even the notions of time and speed. This book is a practical guide to watercolour painting and more. It explains the importance of colour, tone, shape, texture andscale through exercisesand shared techniques. But it also encourages the artist to express sensations and ideas in watercolour – and by exploring the joy of the medium, to develop handling skills, confidence and a unique painting ''voice''.
