Watercolour Sourcebook, The: 60 inspiring pictures to transfer and paint with full-size outlines
60 beautiful, inspirational painting projects provide inspiration for the watercolor artist.
The Watercolour Sourcebook is a compilation of four selected titles from the What to Paint series, chosen specially to illustrate numerous scenes that can be conveyed in watercolour.
The works of four master watercolourists – Geoff Kersey, Terry Harrison, Peter Woolley and Wendy Tait – are brought together in a collection of 60 beautiful, detailed projects on the subjects of trees, woodlands and forests; landscapes; hills and mountains and flowers respectively. Each project results in a full painting that is accompanied at the end of the book by a full-size outline that can be copied and applied to the artist's own watercolour paper using tracedown.
The Watercolour Sourcebook aims to provide a wealth of inspiration to the painter who struggles to decide upon their subject matter, and arms the artist with everything they need to know about what they're about to paint, from colour palette to useful techniques.

I was so excited the library decided to buy my suggestion. However, I was greatly disappointed when I picked it up. If you are looking for line drawings, a reference photo and color suggestions and that is all, then this book is for you. If you are looking to learn techniques and have a little guidance don’t waste your time. Wendy Tait, Terry Harrison and Geoff Kersey have other watercolor instruction books that are much better.

Not good as an ebook
Really irritated that I purchased because this does not work for an ebook! They have the paintings going two different directions. Unless you lock the screen, oh wait, then you cannot see the page. I consider this a complete rip off!!!
