Art Book Review - May 2024
Even if you have the five books that go to make up this compilation, I think you might feel you want this as well. True, at 288 pages it’s a heavy slab of a book, but it sits well in your lap and falls open nicely – no fighting the binding and peering into the spine here. This is a guide rather than a course, so expect topics rather than lessons, but there are plenty of examples, exercises and demonstrations to keep you busy.

Be inspired by watercolour master David Bellamy and learn how to paint glorious landscapes, capturing the natural countryside in all its moods. Renowned watercolourist David Bellamy brings you a collection of his finest watercolour landscape paintings in one outstanding book. From mountains, rocks and crags, to moody skies, cloud types, shafts of light, haze, mist, and capturing tranquil water and raging seas, David's expert knowledge will guide you through to depict your own stunning scenes in lively watercolour. David imparts in-depth practical advice on painting and sketching, clearly setting out all the techniques required, such as misty atmospheric effects, tackling frost and capturing the essence of each season.  David's inspiration from his extensive travels shines through in his paintings, capturing the ever-changing and rugged landscape in all its moods from all over the world. This collection combines content from four of David Bellamy's best-selling watercolour books into a comprehensive, newly designed, single volume.
