"Artist's tip" boxes offer useful suggestions and tips to add to your technique for an even better effect. The Project book offers a range of beautiful projects you can paint, from an Umbrian hill town and a vase of flowers to boats on the river and an Italian garden, ensuring that you get experience of painting a wide range of subjects. Whether you're a novice or already have some experience, The Complete Watercolour Set will give you all the information and advice you need to create your own beautiful and original works.
