Book description
Watercolor—easy as A, B, C.
This comprehensive, hands-on watercolor workshop features 26 core
lessons, from "A" (animals) to "Z" (zeroing in on
your artistic style). In between you'll find expert advice on painting
an exciting range of popular subjects, including:
- barns and buildings
- clouds
- eagles and other birds
- flowers
- glass
- hills and valleys
- ice and snow
- landscapes
- seascapes
- boats
- people and portraits
- still lifes
- trees
- cityscapes
- and more!
Each chapter consists of a series of
step-by-step demonstrations, with special focus on key concepts (such
as working from reference photos, masking, and using color and
contrast) that will help you expand your watercolor repertoire.
Individually, each lesson offers a stand-alone, "bite size"
art session whenever you have an hour or two to devote to your
painting. Together, they present a diverse "sampling" of
subjects, ideas and techniques. Perfect for beginning artists just
starting to explore as well as experienced artists looking to try
something different, Watercolor A-Z is an engaging reference
for achieving pleasing effects in watercolor, while keeping things
fresh and fun.
