    A bumper collection of 50 beautiful watercolor landscapes to paint – with no drawing required!

    From coastal scenes to mountains, simply trace off the outlines and follow the simple instructions to create your own works of art, from seven master artists – Arnold Lowrey, Dermot Cavanagh, Terry Harrison, Tony Cowlishaw, Charles Evans, Keith Fenwick and Richard Bolton.

    • The opening chapter of the book covers key watercolor techniques and explains the tools and materials the reader will need for the journey ahead. 
    • Each of the painting projects shows the finished landscape alongside the colours used, key working details to note, and is accompanied by the artist's tips. 
    • Full-size outlines of every project are included at the end of the book, which can be traced or transferred using tracedown paper: full instructions are included.

    The Watercolour Landscapes Sourcebook provides a wealth of inspiration to the painter who struggles to decide upon their subject matter, and equips the artist with everything they need to know about what they're about to paint, from color palette to useful techniques.

    This wonderful compilation contains works from seven titles from the best-selling Ready to Paint and Tips & Techniques series.
    Terry Harrison grew up in Norfolk, UK. His early art education was basic and he never dreamed that he would one day become an artist. At fifteen, Terry moved to Hampshire and, inspired by his brilliant art teacher, won a place at Farnham Art School at the age of sixteen. After graduating he became a graphic artist but continued to paint in his spare time. In 1984 Terry gave up his job to paint full time and never looked back, teaching and demonstrating his watercolour techniques throughout the world, developing his own range of brushes and paints and writing over 20 best-selling books that have been translated into many languages. Sadly, Terry passed away in 2017 but his legacy lives on. His gift for explaining his methods in an easy and accessible way has encouraged countless people to take up painting, and his beautiful works of art, inspired by the English countryside that he loved, will continue to be enjoyed by people all over the world.

    Charles Evans is one of the UK's leading painters, well-known from his long-running TV series and for his art classes, which are held all over the UK. After a conventional school education Charles entered and spent many years in the catering trade, eventually taking a break to study at Lincoln College of Art. He then joined the Royal Air Force. Following several years in the military, Charles resumed his civilian life in catering, owning bistros and contract catering companies, before turning back to art around thirty years ago. Charles made over two hundred television programmes on art for the Tyne Tees television company, then for the Discovery Channel.

    Charles has written several books for Search Press, and now also represents Daler-Rowney as their main demonstrator. His exuberant and informal personality is reflected in his paintings, which have a lightness and simplicity that many artists aspire to.
