Minor wear on back cover - see pics. McKechnie paints and spatters paper with ordinary watercolours, carefully cuts it to shape and then glues it to a cardboard backing, to create collages of country scenes, seascapes, flowers and a host of other subjects in soft, subtle and natural colours. She demonstrates the complete process, from choosing a design and creating a background, to cutting details and building up the finished picture. Easy projects and step-by-step colour photographs guide readers on their way, while the illustrations of the author's work should inspire readers to create their own masterpieces.
