Book Description
Monet, Van Gogh, Sargent . . . the master impressionists hold an esteemed place in art history, and their output has influenced every generation of artists to follow. Now, artists seeking to capture the radiance and subtlety of impressionism in watercolor can learn the techniques of the masters for themselves. Divided into four parts, Painting the Impressionist Watercolor offers a complete overview to the essentials of impressionism, its colorful evolution, and varied techniques. Part 1 introduces readers to the history of the art form, and explains how its methods apply to watercolor. Part 2 details necessary materials and prepares readers for painting. Part 3 presents step-by-step lessons on how to render a wide range of light effects in still life through simple block exercises (which allow beginners to learn about color and light without the distractions of a complex subject). Part 4 takes readers beyond the basics and into more complex arenas such as textures and lighting conditions.
