Stephen Coates is a full-time professional watercolour painter and teacher, based in Sheffield, north of England. Largely self-taught, Stephen's own experience learning to paint in watercolour has given him a unique insight into how to teach the same medium, and it's his down-to-earth and positive charisma that has won enthusiasm and praise from his students. Stephen regularly runs courses and workshops at his studio in Sheffield, and hosts his own amateur art groups; in addition, he frequently demonstrates and shares his skills at art societies and shows all over England. This is Stephen's second book, and he has made it his mission to bring the excitement of his live teaching into these pages, so that you can truly experience the exciting process of learning – and understanding – watercolour in a vivid and lifelike way in the comfort of your own home.
