This unique book helps you paint splendid watercolor still lifes that capture the look, feel and spirit of each season using a wide selection of fresh flowers, fruits, vegetables, and other beautiful items from the home and garden.
Chapter One focuses on general painting instruction, special techniques, and arranging still lifes, backdrops, lighting, shadows and materials. A chapter devoted to each season follows, including mini-demonstrations that show you how to paint the details of your still life objects, such as sunflowers, pansies, cherries, dried leaves and more. A final chapter takes you through the steps you'll need to create two beautiful finished paintings overflowing with seasonal abundance and mood.
Author Donald Clegg supplements this instruction with insightful anecdotes, including sidebars devoted to gardening and cooking. He offers delicious recipes and handy seasonal tips-all to help you capture the feel of your favorite season in watercolor...and in life!
