What is Fill Your Watercolors With Light and Color about?
If you've always wanted to make your watercolors sparkle with light -- this book will show you how. <p>Roland Roycraft takes you step by step through his unusual watercolor painting technique of pouring paint. Once you learn more about his special masking and pouring techniques you'll be able to add a glowing quality to your work, so you will capture the sparkle of light on snow...the gentle glow of the sky at dawn and sunset... and the way light shines on and through water.</p> <p>The pouring technique uses glazing to capture dozens of subtle color variations across an area, like the greens of foliage and the shades of blue and gray in water and sky. Because pouring causes the color to tint rather than cover the paper, your colors remain brilliant even after as many as ten to fifteen layers have been poured.</p> <p>You'll also learn how to use masking to allow you more freedom in applying colors, allowing you to work from dark to light-the reverse of the usual procedure.</p> <p> Whether you're a beginning artist or an experienced painter who wants to explore new techniques, this book will give you inspiration and insight into the art of watercolor.</p>
