Light (Watercolor Basics)
Watercolor has a unique ability to capture the subtlety, brilliance, and mystery of light. Morris has been an art teacher for 30 years, and her passion for watercolor comes through in her engaging style. She teaches the beginner to observe light and capture it through haze, fog, mist, and clouds. The interior light of lamps and candles is given special treatment. Morris offers a firm grounding in the importance of color theory, particularly the transparent and staining qualities of the paint. This is the best such book yet for the beginner. For more advanced artists, add Rachel Rubin Wolf!s Splash 4: The Splendor of Light (LJ 11/15/96), which comprises examples of light-filled paintings by 109 artists.Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.
