Synopsis

In this book well-known artist and instructor Zoltan Zsabo has gathered together a collection of effective watercolour techniques he has devised for painting specific subjects. From showing how to apply paint to create a misty landscape or radian sunset, to using a knife blade to create cobwebs and salt to give the appearance of falling snow, these ingenious yet simple tips and tricks will enable watercolourists to improve their landscape painting. Thirteen step-by-step demonstrations are included, illustrating exactly how to apply the techniques covered. Zoltan also provides a thorough introduction to the medium of watercolour including equipment, colour theory and compositions. Using annotated painted sketches, a gallery of finished watercolour paintings, plus 'brush in hand' step photography each point is conveyed with complete clarity. There is something which watercolourists of all abilities can learn and apply from this accessible book which will help them to take full advantage of this medium's considerable potential.
