Synopsis

Country Landscapes in Watercolor offers a fresh, adventurous approach to watercolor landscapes for artists, art students, and hobbyists already familiar with basic techniques, who would like to paint land in a new and challenging way. Topics discussed include how to: Create rough and fine textures; convey warm and cool light; paint soil, snow, mountain slopes, trees, cottages, skies, and distance; describe scenes realistically and as abstractions; handle architectural detail and close-ups of farm objects; harmonize and balance contrasting shapes, patterns, and textures; express summer, winter, and spring sunlight and bright, shimmering light; and direct the eye to the center of interest through values, line, and pattern. 40 black-and-white illustrations, 112 color plates, and an index complete the volume.
