Artists who work from photographic source material need to learn how to adapt and improve in order to create a successful painting. Geoff Kersey is a master of this way of working, and here he shows how it is done. Reference photographs, colour charts and preparatory sketches are shown alongside all the finished paintings in this book, with full details of the adaptations and creative processes involved. There are plenty of clear tips and advice, and an illustrated glossary of all the painting terms used. Readers who want much more advice on adapting from reference sources than is provided in step by step painting books will have all they need here, and there are dozens of beautiful paintings to inform and inspire them.

Thanks to overwhelmingly positive responses to the demonstrations in my first book "Mastering Watercolors - a practical guide," I've created this 124-page manual of how-to demos. Here you'll find twelve new step-by-step paintings with reference photos and plenty of images to guide you through each piece. I've also included a section on watercolor basics and materials (11 pages) similar to what was in my first book for people who have not read it. An additional chapter covers what to consider when working from photographs. An ideal follow-on from "Mastering Watercolors - a practical guide," this book is especially suited to people who can't attend regular classes with a professional tutor. Watercolor is wonderful and challenging medium which, like most creative pursuits, develops with regular practice. Happy painting! Joe Cartwright
