WATERCOLOUR BOOKS

November 2017
Hello
We often learn something from good watercolour books.  I bought and read all these painting books during the last  year and now personally recommend all the publications listed here.  Each book has something to offer to any artist wanting to learn more or something new about watercolour painting.  I'll soon be adding more favourite watercolour books on painting s well as more detail on why I like each publication. and have recommended it.
Of course, as artists we all know that watercolour books are no substitute for holding a wet brush and making marks on paper but for bedtime reading you should find something to enjoy.
Just click on the links to learn more and, if you wish, then buy from Amazon, delivered to your door.
