Landscape Painting with Watercolours and Other Techniques Exploring the Use of Lines and Colours
This practical guide to landscape watercolour 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 colour along the way.This is a useful manual for drawing on the ground, offering valuable insight into how to look closely at the landscape before us and choose what we want to express about it; how to select and prioritise 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 (Colour and Materials; Horizontality and Depth; Graphics, Shadows and Light; Lines and Perspective; and Urban Lines and Colours), the author suggests some of the questions we should ask ourselves when looking at a landscape.We will learn to tell a story as we paint, prioritising colour proportions and graphic elements over faithful representation in the final result.Through these engaging exercises, readers will soon be able to effectively manage compositional line and colour while experimenting with different tools and techniques for drawing, painting and rendering the landscape.
