Synopsis

This volume teaches readers time-tested secrets for capturing the effects of light in oil and watercolour paintings both in and outdoors. It starts with guidelines for seeing light, identifying its characteristics, how it falls and how you can learn to use to simplify lights and darks using simple exercises. A series of mini-demonstrations teaches readers how to use colour, value and intensity to capture various lighting situations on canvas and paper. Simple step-by-step projects, with close-up details, help readers to create a variety of subjects with interesting lighting effects including shadowy desert dunes, a moonlit street, a sunlit patio, flowers in morning light and a still life with reflections.
