Watercolour rescue

Learning objectives

  • Practise essential watercolour techniques
  • How to create a three-dimensional effect
  • Add fine detail with a Rigger

The following painting is an unusual subject tor me, a still-life set-up, rather than a landscape, painted . It's all done tor a good reason though, as this is the cover painting tor my new book, (see last month's issue for a look at some of the highlights from the book.). This is all good practise for painting in watercolour, and I hope you enjoy following along with me.
