John Barber is a professional artist and designer whose work has been published by many leading publishers worldwide. His interest in art and design has led to diverse commissions including model-making for film and TV, sculpture, and stained glass design, in addition to painting. He has lectured widely on Turner and Rembrandt, and regularly teaches painting courses at Flatford Mill in Suffolk, England, and La Rochefoucauld, France. John is the author and artist of Many books.

Watercolour is the most popular medium for artists. It is easy to get started, although many beginners have difficulty keeping colours fresh and vibrant. This book shows how to use watercolour paints effectively, explaining and demonstrating watercolour technique. It then presents eight projects of varying complexity, which allows readers to try out what they have learned.
Step-by-step photographs of every stage of a work as it develops, its stand-alone format allows for constant visual reference as a reader paints. Hints and tips throughout to guide readers to success.
