Introduction to Watercolor
New York Sterling Publishing Co., Inc. 1998 0806937815 / 9780806937816 Soft Cover Fine
128 pp., col. illus.; 28 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. "Because watercolor technique takes work to master, even accomplished artists can find it a challenge. But the freshness and brilliance of a successfully completed painting justifies the effort. This extensively illustrated guide has something for everyone: from stretching the paper so it doesn't buckle, to laying a flat wash, to textural methods, it has all you need to produce an expert watercolor. Learn to choose from a variety of papers meant especially for watercolor, and to pick the right brushes, paints, and easels. See how much and where to dampen paper to get the right tones, and create gradated and variegated washes that resemble nature's true colors. While most painters use dry brush techniques for fine details, find out how they also enhance larger areas. Paint humans and animals in different positions and against different backgrounds--even trace a photograph as a guide. Watercolors particularly capture the beauty of flowers, with their soft, glowing hues. To get the best results, experiment with color bleeding and composition. See how to paint landscapes, buildings, skies, still lifes, and animals. Bonus: Special troubleshooting tips reveal how to avoid disaster and salvage mistakes." - Publisher.
