Mar 14 Two of my favourite things in nature are the sea and the sky. They are not the easiest thing to paint well in watercolour. Arnold Lowrey not only manages to capture them to perfection, he imparts his knowledge in over 70 step by step photographs so that everyone can benefit from his methods. This inspirational book shows how to portray the ever-changing moods of sea and sky. It's amazing how much you can pack into a small book and this book is brimming with ideas, instruction and finished projects. The book includes an Introduction, Materials and Mixing Colours, Useful Techniques, Controlling Water, Designing a Painting and three demonstrations: Gower Coast, Reflections in the Sand and Rough Seas. Once you have mastered the techniques, use amazing finished paintings throughout the book to inspire further work. It made me pick up my paints and brushes. * Karen Platt Yarnsandfabrics.co.uk/crafts *
