Product Description

Light Up Your Watercolors Layer by Layer consists of instruction for beginners in transparent watercolour techniques that will lead into the more advanced concept of creating luminosity by layering with colour. Readers will learn the individual techniques involved in the layering process, including colour theory and the basics of painting light and texture. All of these individual parts make up the "language of light." The second half of the book puts this "language" to use to create beautiful paintings. Through step-by-step demos and illustrations of various concepts like the colour wheel, readers will learn how to use uncomplicated watercolour layering techniques to create beautiful light-filled paintings.

Customer Reviews

A beautiful and practical book. A pleasure to read and work through.
The simple yet original approach of this book has transformed the way I use watercolours. All about building and understanding layers of colour, it takes you from using the simplest brush stroke, to executing complex paintings. The beautiful examples of the author's work throught the book are inspirational, and the meticulously thought through tutorials allowed me to create paintings with a luminousity I could only have imagined before. Easily the most useful watercolour book I own. I can't recommend it highly enough.
