Charles Evans Watercolour Rescue

Master watercolor problem-solving with proven fixes for common mistakes

How to lift pigment without damaging paper, repair edges that bled beyond their boundaries, recover lost highlights, and correct compositional issues without starting over.

Evans doesn't just fix problems; he explains why they occurred and how to prevent them during future paintings. Techniques include selective rewetting, strategic masking applications, controlled scraping, and layering approaches that maintain luminosity even after corrections. Each solution considers paper integrity and pigment behavior, showing you what's salvageable and when to accept limits.

The book's portable 5.75x8.25 format fits easily in your painting kit for reference during sessions when problems emerge. Whether you're struggling with backruns, hard edges where you wanted soft transitions, or passages that lost their freshness through overworking, these 128 pages provide specific remedies. More valuable than rescue techniques alone: learning to recognize when to stop, when to correct, and when your "mistake" might actually improve the painting.
