Watercolour Techniques by Jane Leycester Paige
Watercolour painting is an art that, for all its fluid and spontaneous appearance, requires a carefully considered approach in its application. This unique book shows how to organise your composition, analyse the tonal values of your subject, and create fresh and sparkling watercolour paintings. Step-by-step demonstrations reveal the techniques for painting a wide range of popular subjects from portraits to landscapes; find out how to reserve highlights, strengthen shadows, and add details and definition to your work. Each of the demonstrations features a separate set of pictures showing the order of work and gradual build up of colour and tone in each layer. Whether you're working light to dark or dark to light, wet in wet or wet on dry, discover how you can plan and paint exceptional watercolours.
