Previously published as the hugely successful Leisure Arts, these Art Handbooks are being reissued in a handy format with beautiful new covers and the same high quality content. Wendy Jelbert has written a comprehensive, easy-to-follow guide to creating beautiful pictures in acrylics, covering all the basic techniques and more.
Richly illustrated and informative, this guide brings together the expertise of four popular authors to cover the basics of watercolor technique in an easy-to-follow format. Twenty detailed step-by-step demonstrations showcase the versatility and beauty of watercolor paints while teaching the processes of laying down initial washes, creating light and shadow, using perspective, and transforming sketches into finished paintings. Special attention is paid to landscapes—one of the most popular subjects for hobbyists—with advice on capturing the fleeting effects of sun, storm, and mist in paintings of rural architecture or the sea.
Mixing paint, brush strokes, gouache, masking out, glazing, wet into wet, drybrush painting, washes, using resists, sponging, light to dark, sgraffito.
