Mike Chaplin's Expressive Watercolours by Mike Chaplin

Mike Chaplin's Expressive Watercolours by Mike Chaplin

This guide is intended for artists with some painting experience who wish to develop their technique, style and outlook. It aims to make the reader think and to push the technical and personal boundaries of what they believe they can achieve in paint. Mike's teaching focuses not only on techniques but also on expanding the readers' approach to their painting as a whole. Starting with a look at the development of watercolour as an expressive art, the book then covers selective techniques, both traditional and the more unusual, and topics such as observation, drawing, colour and composition. All kinds of painting subjects are included, from the natural landscape to urban scenes, and throughout the book Mike provides plenty of practical advice and useful tips about techniques. There are also a number of special features, focusing on particular aspects of painting, as well as several full step-by-step demonstration paintings.

Mike Chaplin is one of the most popular art experts on Watercolour Challenge, proving very popular with the viewers, and is also the presenter on a video of painting tips collected from the programmes. He has taught in several art schools and now lectures at an adult education college. He writes regularly for magazines, including The Artist, and has contributed to various publications. This is his first book.
