Discover How to Paint Landscapes, People and Still Lifes, and Develop Your Own Style
Starting from the very basics, such as choosing the right brushes and practicing color mixes, this book proceeds to tackle every conceivable watercolor technique--from applying a flat wash to experimenting with texture. Techniques and inspiration are then combined in a wide-ranging section on subject matter--from landscapes to botanical illustration, urban scenes, portraiture, and abstraction--which examines the practical considerations of each topic and showcases numerous different approaches to try, with tutorials on achieving particular effects. 256 pages hc
