David Webb's recently republished Complete Guide to Watercolour is a comprehensive guide for anyone interested in painting with watercolour, from beginners to more experienced artists. Watercolour techniques are clearly explained, with 'Help!' panels to focus on areas where special care is needed or where problems can often arise.

David Webb specialized in extremely detailed natural history illustrations for many years. He then changed to pure watercolour and took to the much looser, freer style shown in this book. He now runs painting holidays and workshops, and demonstrates around the UK, and his work is displayed in a number of galleries.
