It's not only a matter of what to paint, but how you go about painting it.Gordon MacKenzie explores in this book the three most important elements of landscape painting: water, sky and land. He encourages you to try numerous ways of painting each of these, and then choose the methods that best express how the outdoors speaks to you.This reliable collection of tips, techniques, ideas and lessons is your perfect companion on the path to creative fulfilment and more accomplished watercolour landscapes.

Humerous and well illustrated, this book showed me how to 'lighten up' in my overfocused endeavours at beginner watercolours. Lots of great tips and useful information essential for a great read and to dip into when you feel like tearing your hair out by the roots.

Absolutely exactly how one feels when embarking upon the watercolour painting path. Humerous and well illustrated this book is very enjoyable to read and refer to again and again. Made me smile a lot. He's been where I am trying to go.

I found that not only did Gordon MacKenzie cover what most painters tell you, he goes further in explaining some of the theory in simple terms so you get a better understanding what Watercolour painting is about
