This is another paragraph Product Description: This guide is designed to take the reader stage-by-stage through each important element in the understanding and practice of watercolour painting. The book begins with equipment, materials and how they are used and continues with an introduction to the basic techniques and the different effects of colour and stippling. Then, using step-by-step examples, the course presents a series of different subjects which show how a painting develops - whether a landscape, a seascape, a building, a still life composition or a portrait of a pet. Also included are alternative techniques, what to do if a painting goes wrong and advice on mounting and framing a piece of work., Chancellor Press, 5, Osprey Pub Co, 2005. New book, 64 pages, FOR032. The debacle of the Second Crusade in 1148 caused the Crusader States to realise the necessity of developing a more cautious strategy. The original expansionist spirit largely disappeared, and the Crusader States made priorities of strengthening their existing fortifications and towns and building new castles. These structures encompassed core aspects of Western European military architecture with the integration of rapidly developing Arab and Islamic traditions. Following Fortress 21: 'Crusader Castles in the Holy Land 1097-1192', this book examines the design, development and defensive principles of some of the best-known Crusader fortifications and castles, including Crac des Chevaliers, Castel Blanc, Arsuf, Margat, Atlit, Montfort and Acre. .
