Wendy Jelbert's Line and Wash: Watercolour and pen techniques

The methods of merging soft luminous washes with the crisp, definite markings of penwork, are made easy with this book. Each stage of the painting process is illustrated using step-by-step photographs and beautiful finished paintings. You can choose a bold effect or a delicate pastel approach, a drawing or painting, in monumental or miniature scale. The wonderful flexibility of line and wash can accommodate many tastes; it is an inexpensive technique which can be worked during any spare moment, on your lap or at a table, and is an excellent way of capturing texture and detail in the landscape, the delicate linework in flowers and leaves, or the linear beauty of buildings.
