Approaching the subject of pastoral landscapes with his typical verve, beloved instructor Terry Harrison guides beginning watercolor artists through five country scenes in this step-by-step guide.

All projects are accompanied by pull-out tracing paper that easily transfers each scene onto watercolor paper - artists need only a soft graphite pencil and a rubbing tool to achieve the transfer - eliminating the need for prerequisite drawing abilities. Additional scenes include a snowy winter pasture and a small footbridge crossing a ford among autumn leaves.
