Product Description

Synopsis
This structured course in landscape painting encourages amateur artists to paint pictures right from the start, rather than brush strokes or laying a wash. The book is divided into three main sections - the first looks at the practical aspects of watercolour painting, the second encourages students to develop their own style while the third shows how to paint the many different elements of the landscape. The course includes numerous exercises which highlight the key points covered in each chapter. 12 demonstrative paintings are included.

From the Back Cover
David Bellamy was brought up in Pembrokeshire and is well-known for his atmospheric watercolours of landscapes, as well as his paintings of the sea and coastline. Highly regarded as a teacher of art, David has a tremendous following among leisure painters,many of whom have attended his extremely popular courses both in the UK and overseas. He also gives demonstrations and talks, has produced five successful videos on watercolour painting and is a regular contributor to the Leisure Painter magazine.
David Bellamy is the bestselling author of Developing Your Watercolours, the sequel to Watercolour Landscape Course, as well as Coastal Landscapes and Learn To Paint Watercolour Landscapes, all published by Collins. Through his painting and writing he hopes to bring about a greater awareness of threats to the natural environment. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book to learn from, 28 Nov 2001
By A Customer
I love David Bellamy's style of painting and find his book has encouraged me to actually put the paint on the paper instead of looking and thinking about it. A great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A splendid helping hand for aspiring painters!, 3 Dec 1999
By D. H. Harley "wireless sufferer" (Chesterfield, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Copying the exercises and demonstrations in this book helped me more than a year of evening classes! The text is clear and helpful without too many technicalities. Highly recommended for those taking their first steps.

5.0 out of 5 stars From First Steps to Improver, 18 Feb 2004
By Jacqueline Armitage (Sudbrooke, Lincolnshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A sudden urge come over me to have a go at watercolour painting, so I went in search of what I thought would be a suitable book to start me on the right track until I could enrol in an evening class. David Bellamy's Watercolour Landscape Course: From First Steps to Finished Paintings looked perfect to me.

I liked the fact that you were not bogged down in painting colour wheels and just mixing colours before you got to paint anything. With just a basic set of colours and a couple of brushes, David encourages you to paint - even on the back on an envelope if you haven't got proper watercolour paper.

The demonstrations are easy to follow and the exercises gradually increase in difficulty to stretch you.

When I did finally join an evening class, the tutor was impressed with what I had achieved from reading a book. I still refer to it on a regular basis for hints and tips. It's well worth a read.
