By Trudy Friend

Book Overview

This invaluable handbook for all watercolourists takes a practical problem-and-solution approach to painting a range of popular subjects, showing common mistakes and how to rectify them. Mastering fundamental drawing and watercolour techniques forms the basis of successful watercolour painting - the author starts by leading readers through a series of examples and exercises that will introduce them to tonal drawing, colour mixing, applying washes, and much more. Readers will then be ready to move on to the eight themed sections designed to help them in their specific areas of interest. Each theme starts by demonstrating the basic brushstrokes required for that subject. Trudy then sets out a series of problem-and-solution pages that are packed with useful tips on how to paint those subjects and avoid common pitfalls. The information throughout is presented clearly with plenty of useful annotations in a handy portable size so readers can take it wherever their painting takes them

Trudy Friend: Watercolor Problems and Solutions

This is truly a good guide book for watercolor paintings. If you are interested in doing pencil paintings also, I would recommend Trudy Friend's "Artist's Complete Problems and Solutions Handbook". Almost all tricks for doing watercolors are also included in the Handbook. James C. Lin, A Scientist and also a Not-So-Advanced Artist.

Watercolour Problems and Solutions
