I liked everything about this book and would thoroughly recommend it to beginners. The 'centre-fold' outlines, which you trace and which enable you to paint the projects without having to sketch them, are really useful if you are lacking drawing experience. The projects themselves are carefully graded and each is preceded by an exercise which enables you to practise the key skills that the project teaches. The instructions are clear and step-by-step. As someone who has never been able to draw and has always been pretty useless at art, the section on vanishing points and perspective was a complete revelation. I followed the instructions and my sketch of houses actually worked. It was like magic! The only thing I struggled with was getting the boat right - but that is me rather than the book I am sure! There are sections on equipment and all the main techniques you will need to learn as a beginner. I loved the book so much I signed up to the guy's website which is also great fun and really helpful. No, I am not related - not on commission - and have no vested interest!!

This book explains the secrets of basic drawing which is helpful when it comes to painting your subject in watercolour. A few techniques shown really helps to give you confidence to have a go

Great and challenging instructions for lots of fun drawing and painting.
