Experimental Techniques for Achieving Realistic Effects
In this bold, breakthrough approach to watercolor, renowned artist Nita Engle shows readers how to combine spontaneity and control to produce lively, luminescent paintings of realistic subjects. When it comes to working in watercolor, "there is no greater freedom than play." Engle leads the exploration of the medium with action-filled warm-up exercises that show us how to play with paint. Step-by-step projects demonstrate how to transform loose, transparent washes into light-filled watercolors with textural effects achieved by laterally throwing, squirting, pouring, spraying, and stamping color and water onto paper, and manipulating it all to gain effects that lead the artist to discover and delineate a recognizable subject. In short, this enormously popular teacher shows how to combine the looseness of pure abstraction with the focused realism of landscape painting.
