Get off to a happy start with basics such as laying a wash, applying a glaze and keeping whites white. Expand your skills and discover new ways to express yourself with advanced techniques, including special effects using salt, rubber cement and foil. From selecting and caring for your brushes to secrets for painting big, bold, beautiful shadows, Watercolor Essentials contains everything you need to paint with confidence.
- 33 exercises, from foundational skills to advanced techniques for painting clouds, rock textures, moonlit water and more
- 7 start-to-finish demonstrations take you through the process of painting a variety of subjects, including atmospheric landscapes, waterscapes and flowers
- 70-minute DVD puts it all into action, so you can see how the paint is applied and reacts on the paper
