Colour and Line in Watercolour: Working with Pen, Ink and Mixed Media

Glen Scouller’s acclaimed paintings are full of vibrant color and light—and now he reveals the process he uses to create those gorgeous effects.
In step-by-step demonstrations, Scouller shows how he builds his paintings by combining traditional watercolor with additional layers of pen and ink, pastels, and crayons. Along with giving readers the confidence and knowledge to experiment with a variety of mixed media, he explains the importance of keeping a sketchbook, gives tips on working both indoors and out, and covers such subjects as boats, landscapes, still life, animals, figures, and portraits. Every level of painter will feel encouraged and challenged.

Glen Scouller studied and has taught at the prestigious Glasgow School of Art and exhibited at the Portland Gallery in London; at many Scottish galleries, including the Roger Billcliffe Gallery in Glasgow, and the Open Eye Gallery in Edinburgh; and with the Everard Read Gallery in both Cape Town and Johannesburg. He has been awarded several scholarships and is a member of The Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts and The Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour. He writes regularly for the Artist and Artists and Illustrators magazines. This is his first book.
