Developing Your Watercolours is a practical, structured course for watercolour painters with some experience - continuing where the very successful Watercolour Landscape Course left off. With over 28,000 copies sold it is fast becoming a classic instructional guide.

Fully illustrated with David Bellamy's evocative watercolours, the book follows a similar approach to Watercolour Landscape Course and is divided into four main sections:

* The preparatory planning stages, with advice on choosing materials and working on location

* Guidelines on how to give your paintings more impact through imaginative composition, lighting and mood

* More exciting watercolour techniques

* Specific projects and exhibition work

Also included are a number of practical exercises, relating to paintings featured in a gallery at the end of the book, and several step-by-step demonstrations.
