Painting Water in Watercolour

by Christian Wharton

Book Overview

Whether it is the focus of a watercolor painting or part of a wider landscape, water is the element that often has the most immediate and eye-catching appeal. Capturing it, however, is not always easy, and the range of atmospheres and situations -- from furious energy and speed to placid stillness -- can put off many from even trying. Christian Wharton's many years of studying and painting water have led her to realize that the approaches to the subject and preparation are as important as putting brush to paper. In this inspiring book, she uses finished paintings, sketches and step-by-step projects to help you organize your compositional and observational skills, as well as demonstrating the technical side of painting the glory of water in watercolor. This book looks at all aspects of water in watercolor, from the inspirational to the purely practical Book jacket.
