No other medium is as magical and enjoyable as watercolour. So says artist and author Michael Reardon. In Watercolour Techniques: Painting Light and colour in Landscapes and Cityscapes, 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.Packed with expert advice for infusing scenes with light and colourIncludes special tips and techniques for painting architectural subjectsIllustrated with inspiring paintings of scenes from around the world8 start-to-finish demonstrations show key concepts in actionLight, as it glances off a facade, glimmers off the water or gleams off polished marble, is always inspiring. colour, with its infinite array of hues, is always irresistible. Searching for ways to make them harmonize and tell a story can last a lifetime.
