Watercolour Flowers

En savoir plus sur le livre

The transparent quality of watercolour makes it the ideal medium for flower painting. This book covers all aspects of watercolour techniques and contains ten individual flower projects. By exploring many different and sometimes unusual approaches to using watercolour, David Easton aims to extend the artist's range of expression and creativity when painting flower subjects. The importance of drawing and composition as a basis for painting and the variety of watercolour techniques are examined in detail, encouraging the artist to extend his or her range of expression to do full justice to the potential of water-based colours. The main part of the book explores individual projects, using flowers in a variety of natural and still-life settings. A useful final section gives advice on framing and exhibiting finished work, with a resume of painting materials.
