No other medium is as magical and enjoyable as watercolour. So says artist and author Michael Reardon. In Watercolour Techniques Reardon covers it all, from answers to beginners most vexing problems (What is the proper ratio of pigment and water? How do I lay down an even wash? Why do my paintings look so washed out?) to understanding the trifecta of perspective, value, and colour. He shows how to paint whites that sparkle and shadows that glow and how to conjure the atmosphere of a particular place and time. Painters of all skill levels will see – and feel – the difference in their work.
