Learning to paint is fun, and it's easier than you think. This book will save you many years of learning, by providing a simplified approach to painting watercolours. All the techniques you'll need are explained and demonstrated by inspirational teacher Keith Fenwick, who takes you through the processes in easy stages. The landscapes in this book represent the artist’s year, from the gradual awakening of life in spring to the blossoming of colour through summer and autumn and the gradual slowing down of nature in the cold of winter. My aim in this book is to show my approach to painting a landscape from concept to finished picture, in the hope that the techniques I describe will be of use to both the beginner and the more experienced painter.

"In any exhibition of amateur work . . . it is not at all unusual to find many charming water-colour drawings, but . . . it is very rarely that the work in the oil medium is anything but dull, dead, and lacking in all vitality and charm." — Harold Speed
Such provocative assertions are characteristic of this stimulating and informative guide, written in a highly personal and unique style by a noted painter and teacher. Brimming with pertinent insights into the technical aspects and painting in oils, it is also designed to help students perfect powers of observation and expression. Harold Speed has distilled years of painting and pedagogical experience into an expert instructional program covering painting technique, painting from life, materials (paints, varnishes, oils and mediums, grounds, etc.), a painter's training, and more. Especially instructive is his extensive and perceptive discussion of form, tone, and color, and a fascinating series of detailed "Notes" analyzing the painting styles of Velasquez, Reynolds, Gainsborough, Franz Hals, and Rembrandt.
