Watercolour Plus… edited by Ray Balkwill

Discover new ways to expand your artistic skills with Watercolour Plus…, a beautifully illustrated practical guide edited by renowned artist Ray Balkwill. Rather than focusing solely on traditional watercolour techniques, this inspiring volume demonstrates how watercolour can be successfully combined with a variety of other media to create exciting textures, depth and visual effects.

Written by a team of accomplished artists, each chapter explores a different complementary medium, including soft pastel, textured surfaces, gouache, pen and ink, oil pastel and collage. Contributors explain the materials required, fundamental techniques and step-by-step projects that encourage experimentation while remaining accessible to beginners and experienced painters alike. Watercolour Plus… is richly illustrated with full-colour photographs and finished artworks, making it both an instructional manual and a source of creative inspiration.

Whether you are looking to develop your artistic confidence, introduce mixed-media techniques into your paintings or simply broaden your understanding of watercolour, this comprehensive guide offers practical advice that can be applied immediately. Watercolour Plus… is ideal for hobby artists, students, art teachers and anyone interested in landscape, still life or expressive painting.

Produced to the high standards associated with David & Charles publications, Watercolour Plus… remains a valuable reference for artists seeking fresh ideas beyond conventional watercolour painting. A wonderful addition to any art library, it is equally suitable as a thoughtful gift for aspiring or established painters.
