Watercolors : Nature and landscapes

The meeting of paper, water, and paint is a delicate art capable of creating the most beautiful colors, shapes, and depth. In this complete manual, the author Petra Wauters, an experienced watercolor artist, shares her know- how and landscape watercolors for inspiration.

The watercolor enthusiast will find within:

♦ The key to mixing colors: how to associate and juxtapose colors, play with white and black, and compose a personal palette.

♦ Different techniques to experiment with such as wet on wet, or on dry, glazed, or washed paper. Or mixing watercolors with other techniques entirely such as gouache, pastels, or Indian ink.

♦ Examples of full landscapes of the French countryside painted on canvas for inspiration and to paint step-by- step including some of the author’s favorites such as stormy skies, rough seas, ocean harbors, and fields of flowers.
