The soft, atmospheric hues of watercolor could entice any painter. If you're thinking of putting brush to paper, artist Ray Campbell Smith can show you the best approach to this beautiful and expressive medium. Each layout contains a black and white sketch of the project. Campbell explains what makes the subject interesting, and the painting's intended mood. Close-up sections detail particular techniques and choices. Every page has recommended colors and brushes and hints on composition. The gorgeous projects include a Scottish Fishing Port, a boathouse by a lake, an English market, and a French village.

Stimulating analysis for intermediate watercolourists,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ray Campbell Smith's Way With Watercolour: Exploring Landscape Painting (Hardcover)
This book gives analyses of dozens of the artist's luminous watercolours. Each painting is given a full page, with a facing page of details on the painting of the picture. The book is organized by type of subject. Unfortunately for beginners, this book doesn't have a guiding thread, and so I would recommend it for slightly more advanced painters. Fans of Ron Ranson should like this book.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ray Campbell Smith's Way With Watercolour: Exploring Landscape Painting (Hardcover)
This book was a terrible disappointment. Although it is clear that he knows something of painting in watercolors, the samples given were bland. Spread across the entire page that blandness became stifling. This book would work for a true novice but any one else should steer clear.
