Synopses & Reviews
Put your brush to paper and begin producing delicate, shimmering watercolors...immediately! The characteristic fluidity of this lovely medium lends itself perfectly to landscape and the natural world, and when you know the best paints, paper, and equipment to use--and rely on these easy-to-follow instructions on techniques--your results are sure to be superb. Do washes, paint light to dark, use white areas, lift out, dry brush-paint, and try scumbling, collage, resist, backruns, sgraffito, spattering, and masking. The projects include a traditional watercolor of a Minorcan village, suffused with soft purples and golds; a snowy woods with bare wintry trees; the dramatic image of light pouring out through a cloudy sky and over farmland; water running swiftly across rocks; an ancient stone circle, rich in texture and mystery; and a radiant country lane in bright autumn colors. A gallery of professional works provides additional inspiration.
