Bryan Thatcher's Wet into Wet: Watercolour Technique
|
Soft, flowing effects for atmospheric skies, rivers, seas and landscapes in watercolour are made easy when you learn the secrets of 'wet-into-wet' - painting freely with wet washes, blending and merging colours on the paper. Well-known artist Bryan A. Thatcher, who specialises in this popular technique, demonstrates in step-by-step action sequences how to manipulate the flow of colour on wet paper to create beautiful, effortless-looking effects. Sunsets, clouds, trees, hills, boats on the water, snowscenes and stunning skies are among the wide range of subject-matter he has painted, all produced using a limited palette, a variety of brushes and, on occasions, a hairdryer! Bryan's paintings display all the exciting spontaneity of this speedy and fascinating technique.
There are examples of:
- Painting skies
- Painting trees
- Painting figures
- Painting water
- Painting boats
- A walk in the snow
- Autumn woodland
- Mountain landscape
- Boats on the river
Review by art lover Sarah Cooper:
"I have dabbled with wet into wet watercolour techniques in the past so I wondered what to expect from this book. To my delight this refreshed my memory on the past techniques I had learnt and then took me into wonderful projects suitable for the more advanced. With whole sections dedicated to painting trees, figures, boats and skies there is no topic left uncovered in this book. Each step is so clearly described my Michael Sanders it makes it a pleasure following each project. I have completed one of the projects in this book and was amazed with the results so I can’t wait to get started on some of the other projects featured in this book. What more can you ask from a book, clear explanations of each technique, advice on mixing colours and stunning projects. Certainly a book I will be recommending!"
