by Gail Speckmann The Complete Guide to an Essential Watercolor Technique
The wet-into-wet technique gives watercolor paintings a richness of color and texture that is impossible to achieve through any other method. Wet-Into-Wet Watercolor develops this essential art technique into an entire philosophy of watercolor painting through three uncomplicated approaches.
First, readers discover what is involved when painting on a fully saturated surface. Next, they see how to work a painting one section at a time, particularly when the artist desires sharply defined edges for soft, wet-looking shapes. Finally, they practice the author?s exclusive ?painterly approach,? which exploits the surface of the wet paper without sacrificing expressive brushstrokes. Step by step, readers also explore transparent glazing, lifting and washing off color, and masking, as well as uncover scores of surefire tips on composition, value contrasts, color, and texture. A superb resource for every aspect of watercolor painting!
Gail Speckmann has won numerous awards for her watercolor paintings. She lives in Plymouth, Minnesota.
