Watercolor (Creative Techniques)
(back cover)14 Step-by-Step Projects Instruct in Creative Approaches to Watercolor PaintingThis book has been especially designed to help you discover and develop your own distinctive style as a watercolor artist. Separate chapters present 14 distinct approaches to watercolor art, each starting with an example of a finished painting by a famous artist. For example, a Cézanne painting of a woodland scene emphasizes the transparent effects that can be achieved with watercolors. A strikingly different exercise begins by showing a Turner seascape, and then demonstrating how he achieved dramatic effects by applying pigments to wet paper. For every project, this book shows a range of different approaches that you can apply to your own painting. Both beginners and experienced artists will find a wealth of creative ideas combined with solid instruction in the fundamentals of watercolor technique. Color illustrations demonstrate works in progress as well as faithful reproductions of famous works of art.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
