The Natural Way to Paint: Rendering the Figure in Watercolor Simply and Beautifully

by Charles Reid

The Natural Way to Paint: Rendering the Figure in Watercolor Simply and Beautifully Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This instructional book approaches the figure organically, showing readers how to observe its basic shapes and subtle nuances through practical exercises and lessons in the art of seeing with a painters eye. Step-by-step demonstrations in contour drawing teach how to capture the overall essence of the human form, then lessons in gesture drawing emphasize the bodys linear rhythms in various poses. Painting techniques progress from silhouette to three-dimensional forms through clever uses of light, shadow, color, and value.

Synopsis:

This text approaches the figure organically, demonstrating how to observe its basic shapes and subtle nuances through practical exercises and "seeing with a painter's eye". It includes progressive step-by-step instructions on how to capture the essence of the human form and its different poses.
