This new series of books has been specially created by experienced authors and artists to lead the beginner into a practical understanding of the basic principles and techniques of the chosen subject. Extensively illustrated, combining step-by-step photographs and finished drawings in a variety of styles, with a concise and helpful text, each book offers an accessible, enjoyable way to take up creative art as a hobby. 

No other medium serves light as well as watercolour. Light is transitory and ambiguous. It gives us a visual world, allowing us to discern colour and form, and even mood. All visual art depends on the ability to see, and much of it is concerned with expressing aspects of light in some form -- a challenge that absorbs, puzzles, exasperates and sometimes confounds the artist. This book is an attempt to 'capture' this most elusive of phenomena, to find out what light is, what it does and how you can exploit and render it in watercolour. 

Topics covered include understanding the concept of tone; creating shadows; the language of colour; exploiting colour temperature; using complementary colours; light and the human form; interiors and outdoors; natural and artificial light; light on water; time of day, weather conditions and seasonal changes.
