Readers will take a trip back to simpler times as ten demonstrations, painted on watercolour paper, show step-by-step how to create cottages in a variety architectural styles, from lacy Victorian 'gingerbread' houses to English Tudor cottages, to Cape Cod houses and classic farmhouses.Two full-scale village scenes of an old-time village square at Christmas and a summertime view of Main Street round out the book. Dozens of quick mini-demos will teach readers how to embellish their landscapes with such details as porch swings, lace curtains, fountains, old-time lampposts, quilts fluttering on a clothesline, and many more.Readers also learn how to add seasonal touches to their paintings, including fall foliage, spring flowers and winter snows. Traceable patterns, colour swatches and detailed materials lists make each painting easy to replicate.
