Book excerpt: Colours are known to add special and pleasant views and sensations wherever they attend. Their combinations and mingling can reflect a lot to the sight and soul. Colours are an indispensable way of illustrating art; if you look in two identical portraits, one of which was drawn solely by pencils or charcoal, whereas if the second included colours, you would definitely react differently to each one even if both manifest a beautiful work and beautiful views. You would in most cases react more passionately towards the colourful portrait, especially if it happened to include natural landscapes, or a very good-looking person. Have you ever, nevertheless, thought of going beyond observing portraits and admiring artworks with your eyes? Have you not considered getting more involved into it even with very few and basic talents? In case you have already questioned yourself and answered affirmatively, have you fallen in the dilemma of finding some convenient learning tips to pursue as you were unable to figure out how to start and what to start with? This small guide has been established for the purpose of illuminating your first steps in the field of loose watercolour painting, and we are hopeful that these introductory steps can take you further towards advancing in this field of art. In this guide, you are to find the very basics of loose watercolour painting, as well as a number of examples and illustrations which you can learn, apply, and afterwards get inspiration from to create your own artwork.

Download or read book Light and Movement in Watercolour written by Jake Winkle and published by Batsford Books. This book was released on 2023-03-02 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jake Winkle's loose, fresh and spontaneous style of painting is very popular. His paintings are full of light and movement and a key feature of his technique is that he doesn't work in the traditional way of light to dark but by placing the darks first. In Light and Movement in Watercolour, his first book, he demonstrates how to paint watercolours in a loose, direct way by step-by-step demonstrations and practical projects. Watercolours are often spoiled by a desire to be entirely truthful to the subject matter, which can lead to a painting that is overworked and tight. Jake's loose approach avoids those problems. He looks at subject simplification and shows how to focus on shapes rather than objects and, by painting what you see and not what you know, demonstrates how to capture the essence of the scene with freshness and clarity. The main topics in this book are: Understanding Watercolour; Building Confidence; What to Paint; Shapes, Tones and Colours; Dark to Light and Freshness and Clarity. Jake considers each topic in detail and shows the reader how to create paintings that glow with life, interest and spontaneity.
