Understanding Transparent Watercolor.

Attaining skill as a watercolor painter is more than mastering a series of brush and paint application techniques, and this book attends to other subtle but substantial factors that promote the freshness and confident brushwork evident in successful watercolor paintings. In addition to basic information concerning brushes, pigments, palettes and papers, the author stresses the need to understand a more comprehensive vocabulary of watercolor as an expressive medium. Full-color illustrations, by master artists and numerous accomplished watercolor practitioners, demonstrate the concepts and techniques that underlie good watercolors. These color reproductions are to be found on each of the book's content pages. Recommended for high school, college and adult painting studios.
