Each section is full of beautiful illustrations, and we love the way Jane introduces the techniques and follows this with step-by-step instructions of how to incorporate the techniques into specific projects.
Also included are examples of Jane’s own artworks to inspire you to create your own watercolour examples.
We also love the final section when Jane encourages you to start on your own painting journey, with her helpful advice about creating themes, how to focus and pattern and colour,
This stunning book takes watercolour painting to new, innovative and exciting dimensions.
