Painting Light and Shade in Watercolour by Patricia Seligman
Every practicing artist, whether amateur or professional, knows that precise control of light and shade is essential in demonstrating mastery of their art. This book shows you the many ways in which you can add dimension and energy to your watercolour paintings. Watercolour is the natural medium to express light - and shade. In the course of the book, the full vocabulary of watercolour techniques is explored and linked to clear step-by-step projects revolving around themes of light, enabling practice to make perfect. In-the-field notebook features demonstrate how to see and interpret tonal values in the context of themes - balancing contrasts, keeping colours vibrant or keying values - allowing you to produce paintings shimmering with light.
Patricia Seligman studied history and the history of art at London University. She now works as an editor and writer. Her previous books include Painting Murals, Step-by-step Art School; Oils, Weather: How to See It, How to Paint It, and a study of Pissarro's painting techniques.
