Acuarela. Técnicas y tutoriales para principiantes

Watercolor painting is both absorbing and meditative, something many people would love to experience but don't try because they believe they won't succeed or simply don't know where to begin. However, to find the necessary confidence, often all it takes is an encouraging voice and a clear, easy-to-follow technique. That's exactly what this book offers. Paul Clark, an enthusiastic and accomplished painter who runs his own art school, explains the fundamentals of this painting technique in an engaging and accessible way. He outlines the tools and materials that are truly necessary, starting with a limited color palette that can be mixed to create most colors. He then details and illustrates the basic techniques before presenting ten of his own paintings in which he puts these techniques into practice. Each painting is broken down into phases, with clear instructions and photographs to make them easy to follow, along with plenty of helpful tips. There are also three sections focusing on areas of particular interest when learning to paint with watercolors: special effects, painting trees, and painting skies.
