Synopsis

Richard Karowski paints watercolors that sparkle, and in this book, he shows painters of all levels how to ring a new freshness and luminosity to their work. In twenty exciting and original exercises, he invites artists to experiment with new techniques and subject matter. He shows how to create color mixtures that are fresh and vibrant and how to use unpainted white area to define forms and make your paintings glisten. As artists work through the exercises, they will paint panoramic landscapes, gardens overflowing with flowers, and still lifes of apples and pears that roll exuberantly toward the viewer. Karowski shows how to broaden the point of view to encompass a majestic sunset and how to narrow the focus to find a still life on a crowded beach.
