520 _aInexpensive, quick drying, and capable of creating infinitely subtle nuances of light and shade, watercolour is the most popular of all painting media for leisure artists. The Practical Encyclopedia of Watercolour offers a complete, step-by-step guide that will take you from making your first brush marks to creating works of art that you can be proud to display. Part I, Getting Started in Watercolour, demonstrates all the basic techniques, from laying a wash and working wet into wet through to textural techniques, such as spattering, drybrush and sgraffito. Simple step-by-step exercises on a range of easily accessible subjects are included throughout, enabling even complete beginners to produce attractive watercolour studies from the outset. Also included are some of the fundamentals of art, such as the basics of colour theory, scale and perspective. Part 2, Watercolour Projects, contains more than 25 full-length projects that build on the painting techniques demonstrated in Part 1. Specially commissioned from leading professional watercolourists, these projects cover a wide range of popular subjects - skies and water, landscapes, trees and flowers, still lifes, animals, buildings and people. Feature spreads provide supplementary practical information on how to approach particular subjects. Clearly written, beautifully illustrated and packed with useful tips and techniques, this practical manual contains everything you need to know in one easy-to-follow volume.
