Not just for the budding watercolorists of the Upper East Side or the Bohemian street artists in Washington Square Park, this collection of eye-catching watercolor projects attracts artists drawn to the sweeping drama of the world's most celebrated skyline.

Capturing the quiet grandeur of five key landmarks — a solemn Liberty Island, a serene Central Park bridge in winter, Daniel Burnham's Flatiron Building at the intersection of 5th Avenue and Broadway, the elegant Empire State building, and the Brooklyn Bridge on Independence Day — beginning painters can quickly build their portfolios with distinctly recognizable cityscapes.

Six pull-out tracing papers (one for each project and a bonus tracing paper) make getting started easy, and the accompanying instruction focuses on a tight, realistic picture. With tips and tricks, this invaluable resource guides artists through brilliant works of modern architecture and timeless monuments.

Geoff Kersey is an experienced watercolorist and is very much in demand as a teacher and demonstrator. He lives and works in Derbyshire, England, where he has a studio, and he exhibits extensively. He has made two watercolor videos and contributes to various art publications.
