A comprehensive and practical guide to painting watercolour buildings with atmosphere, character and accuracy, from renowned artist Nicholas Poullis.

'Nicholas's paintings exude a wonderfully fresh and vibrant feel, with some innovative and daring compositions [...] He is an artist at the peak of his creative powers.' David Curtis ROI RSMA
