A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

A super book, really useful for anyone beginning in watercolours. It's spiral bound, something I find very useful when painting as this allows the book to lie flat, instead of having to be propped open and then folding in just when you've got paint covered hands ( most of the while if you're like me!) Alwyn begins with a brief overview of the basics needed to get the student started. This is very useful when pursuing a new medium as one can spend far too much money on materials that may never get used. He explains about papers and different types, brushes, paints and a few other useful items to have. One of the things often putting people off painting is just How to get Started something I remember well..and in this book he has put together a selection of simple tips and techniques designed to answer that question. His advice cover basics such as wet in wet, wet on dry and dry brush all useful watercolour basics that help achieve a reproduction of what it is we want to paint. The book contains more simple steps to compiling scenic painting such as trees, water and skies with boats and people which can be put together wonderful evocative landscapes in Alwyns subtle understated style. Alwyn is a well known for watercolour landscapes, creating wonderful natural scenes and this is an excellent book full of useful advice for all artists wanting to begin watercolours. --JeannieZelos.com
