Learn to paint watercolor landscapes in 30 half-hour lessons with
master artist Dave Woolass. Tracings are provided to transfer to the
paper or canvass. No drawing necessary!
This complete beginner's guide to painting watercolor landscapes is
ideal if you want to learn to paint but are short on time. Broken down
into 30 quick and easy paintings that take no more than 30 minutes to
complete, this basic course will teach you all the skills you need to
paint landscapes and their components, including trees in winter,
sparkling water, hedgerows and gates, animals, human figures and
buildings in the landscape.
The 30-minute paintings are all worked at postcard size - ideal for a 6
x 4in watercolor pad, and tracings are included for those with limited
drawing skills. Each small painting is a work of art in its own right,
and can be stored in your portfolio for reference later, or framed and
hung on the wall to impress your friends. The book also includes 3
larger paintings that demonstrate how you can combine the elements you
have learned into vibrant, atmospheric landscapes.
The book is broken down into chapters that focus, respectively, on
washes, color mixing, building up the landscape and dropping in the
details, while the final section of the book contains 3 complete
paintings that demonstrate how to combine all the techniques and
elements of painting landscapes learned, also accompanied by actual-size
tracings.
