Through engaging exercises, readers will learn how to tell a story while painting and drawing a landscape, a cityscape or seascape with watercolour and other techniques.
This hands-on guide to landscape watercolor and other drawing and painting techniques takes readers on a series of excursions from the sea to the city, mastering the use of line and color along the way. A useful manual for drawing on the spot, it offers valuable insight into how to carefully observe the landscape before us and choose what about it we want to express; how to select and prioritize visual information; and how to apply drawing techniques to create the illusion that our compositions have been arranged effortlessly, as if by nature itself. In each
of the book’s five sections (Color and Materials; Horizontality and Depth; Graphics, Shadows and Light; Lines and Perspective; and Urban Lines and Colors), the author suggests some of the questions we should ask ourselves when observing a landscape. We will learn how to tell a story while painting, prioritizing color ratios and graphic elements over faithful representation in the final result. Through these engaging exercises, readers will soon be able to manage compositional line and color effectively as they experiment with different drawing, painting and landscape representation tools and techniques.
