While this is good for beginners, I also found it exactly the right level to remind me of the various techniques, and the very useful, detailed instruction for a few projects just the right level. I was making by own decisions again by the end. Ideal! Review: it's an amazing book to have or pass on to someone else when you've finished with it. - This book is amazing! I have so many books lying around that I will never open, but this book is a work of art in itself. It explains everything you need to know as a beginner in a very clear way, and it is not boring. It also has amazing paintings inside. I have seen the author's YouTube tutorials and was amazed at how clearly he explains watercolour techniques such as lines and washes. If it costs a few pounds more than the Kindle version on desertcart, buy the paper version β€” it's an amazing book to have or pass on to someone else when you've finished with it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 13,156 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 16 in Watercolour Painting Techniques 64 in Other Art Media & Techniques 364 in Hobbies & Crafts | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,024) | | Dimensions | 20.96 x 0.64 x 26.67 cm | | ISBN-10 | 1784943738 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1784943738 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Part of series | Art Techniques | | Print length | 96 pages | | Publication date | 7 Oct. 2017 | | Publisher | GMC Publications Ltd | ## Images ![Watercolour: Techniques and Tutorials for the Complete Beginner (Art Techniques) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716ahR-JsWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant Book *by R***R on 28 February 2026* I used to paint a lot, but had an enforced long break and needed something to help me back in.

He promotes this book on his Youtube channel, so I ordered it. Thing is, there is nothing in the book which you won’t learn from watching his Youtube channel; in fact the Youtube channel has wider and more varied content for techniques. That said, the book itself is very well produced and presented. It’s a softcover of manageable dimensions to be portable, and the artistic images are of very high quality. I have no idea how many of these books Mr. Clark has sold, but I wish him every success. If you’re on a budget and have a good internet connection, my advice would be to watch the videos and learn that way, as you may then watch the actual techniques in action in real time. ## Frequently Bought Together - Watercolour: Techniques and Tutorials for the Complete Beginner - 101 Watercolor Secrets: Essential Insights and Techniques for Painters - The Complete Watercolorist's Essential Notebook: A treasury of watercolor secrets discovered through decades of painting and expe rimentation --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/48199048-watercolour-techniques-and-tutorials-for-the-complete-beginner-art-techniques](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/48199048-watercolour-techniques-and-tutorials-for-the-complete-beginner-art-techniques) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
