Watercolorists paint more landscapes than any other subject. The ideal medium for capturing the drama and beauty of fall foliage, shadows on snowbanks, and rapidly moving cloud formations, watercolors encourage painters to work with speed and spontaneity. This easy-to-follow guide, enhanced with 122 illustrations (including 60 in full color), provides beginners with all the information they need to paint a successful watercolor landscape. Students first learn how to use washes, drybrush, and wet-in-wet techniques to paint mountains, rocks, and mist, as well as how to apply color when painting the sky, trees, and terrain. This is followed by the heart of the book: six expert step-by-step demonstrations of every significant painting operation involved in rendering hills, a lake, a stream, snow and ice, clouds and a sunset. Readers will also find a wealth of helpful hints on selecting landscape subjects, composition, lighting, brushwork, and much else. In short, this is an indispensable practical manual for novices, but it will also provide inspiration and serve as a helpful review for experienced artists.
