ReviewsArtBook Review, Sept 2019 Take 3 Colours is a brilliantly simple idea that's been brilliantly presented. All of the authors so far have understood the brief impeccably and Stephen Coates is no exception. The strapline is "3 colours, 3 brushes, 9 easy projects" and it's not just a superb way to get started with painting, but also an approach that strips your technique back to essentials if you're feeling it's got just too complicated and that you may be over-working. Don't expect great works, but do prepare to be surprised at just how much variety you can get and how many subjects you can work with in this way. My only reservation in this particular volume is the overall impression of ochre. With base colours of Light Red, Raw Sienna and Ultramarine, this might perhaps be expected, but other volumes have managed to provide a somehow brighter appearance and the lack of a good green from the mix shows. It's a shame as the results and explanations are excellent.

SynopsisWith 3 colors, 3 brushes and this practical advice, you can start painting water scenes in watercolor with just 9 projects. Even if you have never picked up a paintbrush before, professional watercolor teacher and artist, Stephen Coates, shows you how to paint convincing water scenes in watercolour using just three brushes, three colors, a plastic palette and a watercolour pad. Only students' range watercolour paints are used, yet from these Stephen shows you how to paint nine realistic watercolor scenes. There is no off-putting color theory or long-winded mixing information, but a practical absolute beginner's course that shows the three colors in action. You need only three affordable brushes: a hake and a no. 8 and no. 2 rounds in a synthetic range, to achieve all of the paintings shown. Build your skills through nine easy exercises, starting from the simplest of scenes, resulting in paintings of rivers and lakes you'll be proud of. There are step-by-step photographs for each project, meaning clear instruction and advice throughout, and handy tips and jargon busters appear alongside the steps for short and simple answers to your watercolor woes. Each of Stephen's finished paintings are shown at full size for easy reference, which you can even use to trace from for a stress-free painting experience - a helpful how-to-trace section at the back of the book shows you how to do this too, with Stephen's friendly instruction.
