Synopsis

This instructive volume guides students toward understanding and reproducing the play of light on water. It uses step-by-step illustrations of works in progress, and also shows dramatic use of water effects by a variety of famous artists, including Winslow Homer, J.M.W. Turner, and many others. Titles in Barron�s Painter�s Corner art instruction series speak to serious amateur artists, as well as to students enrolled in art classes. Instruction is presented on a level that will suit the needs of intermediate-level students, but many ambitious beginners have also profited from these books. Each title explains the fundamentals of painting and drawing in a given genre or style, and presents sample projects that can guide students toward professional-looking results.

About this title

From the Back Cover

[back cover]


Titles in The Painter’s Corner series are self-teaching manuals for ambitious amateur artists. They can also serve as fine textbooks for the art classroom. When painting scenes that include water, the artist faces challenges that are very different from those related to normal landscape painting. This book examines techniques that artists must master when painting seascapes or landscapes that encompass rivers, lakes, brooks, or ponds. Practical exercises and explanations instruct on methods for capturing water’s movement, its changing colors, its highlights, and its surface reflections.
