Publisher's Synopsis
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.
