The ultimate, accessible, no-nonsense guide to painting watercolor
skies
There are some areas of watercolor painting that beginners often have
trouble with, and one of these is skies. In Stephen's characteristic
style, he approaches the subject in a no-fuss, technique-led way that
aims to demystify sky painting so that you, the novice watercolorist
will be able to approach it with confidence.
Beginning with advice on key tools and materials, how to prepare your
palette and achieve the right consistency of paint, Stephen takes you
through seven common skies, ordered by difficulty: from simple plain
blue skies and white cloudy skies to sunsets and storms. Every sky
includes invaluable guidance on how to plan your sky, dozens of handy
tips and clear step-by-step instructions and numerous examples.
This is an essential book for watercolur artists starting out, as well
as the more experienced looking to hone their landscape painting
skills.
