Learning to watercolor from online tutorials and books and then giving it up for several years had me interested in seeing what this book might have to add to what I knew already and perhaps tweak my interest in taking up my brushes again. I believe the author may have me interested in tackling figures in paintings...something I have always wanted to add to my paintings...and his tips and tricks are interesting indeed.
This book includes: *drawing skills *tools: brushes, paints, etc *tips & techniques *choosing where to work outdoors *making sure you get permission *composition and tension *the golden rule *perspective *focal point *use of light & color *color & value *artist’s voice *sketching & sketchbooks *and included step by step projects
Did I enjoy this book? Yes Will I use ideas from this book in the future? Perhaps...do want to get back to sketching and painting and this might be the book that acts as a catalyst.
Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Walter Foster for the ARC – This is my honest review.
