The What to Paint series is perfect for readers with some painting skills and experience, who are looking for inspiring painting subjects. Each book has 24 beautiful full-page size paintings, a colour palette for each one and informative captions pulling out details, tips and techniques used in various parts of the painting. At the back of the book there is a free outline for each painting for readers to transfer or scan on to paper. There are also instructions on transferring the images, and on selecting parts of the outlines to create new compositions. Watercolour artist, Peter Woolley, provides a stunning range of paintings encompassing a variety of scenes from gentle slopes and rolling hills to dramatic peaks of far off mountain ranges. Every painting is accompanied by outline transfers, which are ideal for beginners who want to get started painting landscapes without requiring the necessary drawing skills.

This book is designed specifically for beginners who want to paint hills and mountains, but whose drawing skills let them down. By providing pull-out tracings of each of the five projects, you can simply transfer the drawing to your watercolour paper following the easy instructions provided and then concentrate your efforts on the painting techniques. There are five projects, each with a tracing and detailed, step-by-step instructions, plus a bonus tracing so that you can reproduce the painting shown on the introductory page. Each painting is A3 size (42 x 29.5cm; 16 x 11in). There is also a helpful section on what materials to use.

Developing Your Watercolours is a practical, structured course for watercolour painters with some experience – continuing where the very successful Watercolour Landscape Course (published in 1993 and reprinted 7 times) left off.
