Summary

Learn to draw and paint 50 beautiful blooms in no more than 12 easy stages!

Paint 50 Watercolour... is a new 'how-to-paint' series, echoing the success of the original How to Draw series. This book will focus on flowers both domestic and exotic, from rambling roses to elaborate irises. 

This flagship title in this new series will teach you how to paint, over the course of 50 simple painting projects. Each flower will appear over a double page spread, and take 8-12 steps to complete, from pencil drawings to the adding of watercolour.

There will be a simple introduction, tools and materials and basic techniques section at the front but otherwise very few words on the pages: the steps will visually describe to the reader how to achieve the artworks. There will be some element of progression as the reader works through the book, with the easiest projects at the start.
