One of the great joys of watercolour is that it is such a wonderful medium to use when painting on location: readily portable, quick-drying, and with a translucency that is perfect for capturing fleeting changes of light. This new pocket-sized series is the perfect addition to the watercolourist's painting kit. The pocket format is ideal to take on location, while the hard cover and inner spiral binding ensures that the pages open flat for quick-and-easy reference.
Trees are an integral part of many landscapes but they can be surprisingly difficult to paint convincingly. Complex overlapping shapes, masses of subtle colours, contrasting textures: these are only a few of the things you have to consider.
Not sure how to convey a mass of foliage with just a few brush strokes? Confused about how to paint the texture of gnarled tree roots and bark? Do your paintings of autumn foliage end up as murky shades of brown rather than glowing golds and ochres? This book has the answers! Packed with useful tips and techniques, inspiring watercolour studies, and easy-to-follow projects, it contains everything you need to know to paint trees and woodland areas with confidence.
