Nature in Watercolour

Take a walk through the seasons with Waltraud Nawratil in this vibrant guide to painting nature in watercolour.

Discover new and traditional watercolour techniques: textural effects, backgrounds, exciting colour combinations and much more to create 30 stunning watercolour paintings that bring the natural world to life.

Paint your way through a luscious landscape of flowers, fruits and trees, including a vibrant vase of impatient spring blooms, dreamy waterlilies floating on a still pond in summer, a golden forest and a copious autumn harvest, and ending with an exuberant pink poinsettia complete with frost-tipped leaves, which marks the coming of Christmas and the closing of the year. Each painting is worked in watercolour in the author's loose, delicate style.

An ideal introduction to watercolour painting and an unmissable guide to developing technical skills with plentiful inspiration for creating your own works of nature-inspired art.
