Watercolour Landscapes Step by Step (Paperback)

Description:

Watercolour Landscapes: Step By Step explains the fundamentals of watercolour painting and gives budding watercolourists the much needed confidence to become a serious painter.Watercolour paintings have been a source of joy for many. The use of bright colors together to create a work of art results in a meditative experience.The bold strokes, the flow of colors, simplicity, and transparency are some of the characteristics associated with good watercolour. The budding watercolourists may have often found these wonderful characteristics on full display in paintings created by Homer, John Pike, and Sargent, and wondered if they would ever be able to create such a work of art. In this book however, artist Milind Mulick tells his readers that they can certainly paint well if they learn a few simple techniques and practice regularly. Watercolour Landscapes: Step By Step contains ten basic techniques along with demonstrations that will help the aspiring watercolourist acquire the necessary skills. The contents are organized into fourteen chapters, some of which include Brushwork, Glazing, Wet-in-Wet 1, Wet-In-Wet 2, Wash, Outdoors, and Direct Approach. The final chapter of the book contains reference photographs. A number of assignments are also provided so that the students work on them, enjoy the process of watercolouring, and build on their painting skills. The one aspect that distinguishes Watercolour Landscapes: Step By Step from other similar books is that it s a distillation of the rich teaching experience gathered by Milind Mulick, who is evidently a master in this medium of painting.
