David Bellamy’s Complete Guide to Landscapes cover

Be inspired by watercolour master David Bellamy and learn how to paint glorious landscapes, capturing the natural countryside in all its moods.

Renowned watercolourist David Bellamy brings you a collection of his finest watercolour landscape paintings in one outstanding book. From mountains, rocks and crags, to moody skies, cloud types, shafts of light, haze, mist, and capturing tranquil water and raging seas, David's expert knowledge will guide you through to depict your own stunning scenes in lively watercolour.

David imparts in-depth practical advice on painting and sketching, clearly setting out all the techniques required, such as misty atmospheric effects, tackling frost and capturing the essence of each season. 

David's inspiration from his extensive travels shines through in his paintings, capturing the ever-changing and rugged landscape in all its moods from all over the world.

This collection combines content from four of David Bellamy's best-selling watercolour books into a comprehensive, newly designed, single volume.

I believe Watercolour is similar to free hand silk painting and I have always been a great admirer of David Bellamy's watercolours. 

David has travelled extensively capturing the place, light and atmosphere as he travels. I have only ever seen him give a demonstration but a friend accompanied him on a visit to the Artic which greatly influenced her quality of painting. 

The book covers every aspect of painting every type of landscape, including mountains, moors, seas and seashores all with fabulous skies. Studying this book in detail could not fail to make you a better landscape painter, it is obvious this is the result of knowledge gained over many years with infinite amount of practice. 

The book has been a joy to read for this review and I really cannot do it justice. You will probably refer to this book time and time again.
