The watercolour landscape painters pocket palette gives practical advice on how to create watercolour landscapes using watercolours. Written by Adelene Fletcher and published in 2003 by Search Press this pocket book runs to 64 pages and is packed from cover to cover with a multitude of hints, tips, and advice on almost everything you need to know when creating watercolour landscapes.
