GMC Publications Watercolour: Techniques and Tutorials for the Complete Beginner

This book is an excellent resource for beginning watercolour painters. Paul Clark, who is a UK-based watercolour artist AND teacher, explains the basics in an easy to understand, non-intimidating way and provides a series of step by step exercises to teach various techniques and help you build your skills. The 2 photos are paintings I did from this book. In addition, he has a great YouTube channel with tons of tutorial videos that will take you well beyond the book - lots of different subjects and techniques, all delivered in an easy-going and humorous style.

Muy buenos

Paul Clark is my absolute favorite artist. He is incredibly talented, yet his personality is so relatable, friendly, and approachable. Never a hint of condescension. He has the ability to teach clearly so that you can understand the process, techniques, and materials for watercolor without being so overwhelmed that you feel like giving it up. The same applies to his book. It is invaluable for the beginner as it is not overwhelming as a lot of information for watercolor painting can be. Paul covers it all without prompting a trip to the liquor store or hair-replacement treatment. In a lot of books, color theory alone can be enough to cause someone to snatch their hair out and feel completely incompetent. He includes tutorials in stages of painting. His materials and techniques sections are not overwhelming. My main purpose for buying this book was to “loosen up” my painting style. I’ve looked at a lot of books that intend to help make your style less complicated, but are so complicated one might give up in the process. I have the attention-span of a gnat, so that does not work for me. I would describe myself as an intermediate painter and I still learn a lot and get a great “tweaking” with regards to what I have already learned, so it’s great for all levels. If you’re looking for a book that covers it all in a clear, concise, comfortable, and friendly manner, then “give this one a go”. I recommend this book as well as his YouTube channel. Not only do I learn a lot from his book and channel, he’s very fun to watch. My husband, who doesn’t even paint, loves to watch Paul!

Great book, beautifull . Paul clark is a great teacher. He explains everyting very good.
