A relaxed approach to Watercolour and Drawing by an artist who excelled at producing beautiful clean, spectacular watercolours.

Ron Edwards taught an enthusiastic group of beginners in 2004, and from notes taken from those classes, this book and the second book emerged.

As in all aspects of his life, Ron shows you how to make the most of what you have - rather than rush out and spend a fortune setting up to learn a new craft.

He discusses

• the importance of sketching and how it relates to watercolour
• pans or tubes
• student quality vs artist quality mediums
• the pros and cons of various pigments

Lots of step by step projects to work through.
