The author demonstrates the 7 watercolor techniques you should know, and then shows you how to apply these techniques in 18 start-to-finish projects.
The emphasis of this exciting new watercolor title is on "show me" instruction rather than "tell me." Accordingly, everything possible has been illustrated in graphic terms. Author Malcolm Beattie begins with a simple overview of classic watercolor techniques, perfect for beginning and advanced painters alike. Beattie also provides twenty-two exercises that follow a logical progression from simple to more complex. A variety of scenes are included, from beaches and boats to figures in the street. Each exercise comes with a list of materials, techniques, and special "Beware!" sidebars that inform readers of the challenges in each scene. Other topics covered include choosing a subject, composition and design, drawing for simplification, counterchange, limited palette painting and placing figures in the landscape. -- amazon.com
