By reconstructing in practice the methods of great watercolourists, Stephenson reveals new ideas on how artists as diverse as Dürer, Cézanne, Turner and Sargent actually worked. Using examples of the most popular subjects – landscapes, portraits, still-life paintings and figures – Stephenson employs a series of demonstrations to show how to re-create the methods of the watercolour masters.
