Creating Textured Landscapes With Pen, Ink And Watercolor

Description

With the help of reference photos and field sketches, readers learn to create realistic and colourful painting of landscapes ranging from expansive mountain vistas to more intimate vignettes such as tree-shaded streams. Each chapter explores a different component of landscape painting - skies, clouds, hills and mountains, trees and foliage, rivers, lakes and waterfalls, rocks, flowers and more. Readers will enjoy the author's conversational, encouraging voice as well as beautiful, full-sized finished landscapes at the end of each chapter. In addition to basic art materials, readers can follow along with the demonstrations using simple and easy-to-find tools such as sponges, scrapers and straws.
