This fundamental guide to creating beautiful watercolor paintings includes practical advice and features demonstrations of both traditional and experimental methods. Students learn techniques
that make the most of the translucent quality of watercolor pigments and discover ways to achieve a variety of effects that include creating convincing cloud formations, foliage, sunlight, and
mist. Titles in the new ArtistA's Handbook Series are designed for dedicated amateurs but will also by used and valued by professional artists. Each title in the series has a sturdy
hardcover binding, allowing it to be taken out to the field as handily as it is used in the studio. The booksA' hidden spiral bindings keep pages lying flat, so students can work freely with
their art materials without having to fight with their instruction manual. Each title supplements textual instruction with more than 400 color illustrations showing paintings in various stages
of completion. There is detailed information on artistsA' tools, techniques, mixing colors, creating special effects, and trouble-shooting to correct errors. All ArtistA's Handbooks show
examples of works by famous artists in the respective media to help students see how each medium has been used by world-renowned masters.
