Considered both one of the most beautiful mediums to work with as well as one of the more difficult to master, watercolor paintings are highly regarded for their delicate strokes, incandescent washes, and seemingly effortless appearance. However, it is the very beauty of this medium that also makes it one of the more challenging to work with.
Unlike other paints which usually stay where they are applied and maintain their appearance after they dry, watercolors, which have a primarily water base, are known for diffusing, altering the shape of the paper as well as the appearance of the paint as it dries.
In You Can Paint Vibrant Watercolors in Twelve Easy Steps readers learn how to tackle this medium with easy-to-follow directions and illustrations that will excite and inspire. Yuko Nagayama is a leading expert in watercolor painting and over many years has developed a unique and very successful twelve-step fool-proof system for teaching how best to work in this medium. The book includes a review of all of the tools needed in watercolor painting, tutorials about different paints, instructions on how to mix colors on a palette, and initial sketching techniques. Most importantly, it teaches Yuko's unique way of achieving the most vibrancy in watercolor painting.
