Watercolour artist Steven Cronin says “Over the years I’ve found myself wanting to break free from the tight, rigid rules of watercolour painting and develop a freer, looser technique without fuss or fiddling.

Painting Loose Landscapes in Watercolour teaches a way of watercolour painting that allows the individual not to fear their mistakes but to learn from them and focus on the essence of a painting: the light, the atmosphere and not to worry about every leaf and blade of grass that gets so many stuck and frustrated.

For years I put off painting because I didn’t think I’d have the patience. When I discovered a more loose way of painting with total abandon, almost carefree if you like, I suddenly realised there was another gateway into the art world that teaches pure enjoyment of the medium without fear of stresses and failures or getting bogged down with needless details.

So grab your brushes and give it a go. My approach will give you a sense of freedom you’ve never felt with a brush in your hand. It’s not as difficult as you think and with a little practise you’ll soon be painting loose landscapes without fear”.
