Natural Watercolours: Painting from Nature Made Easy

From fruits and flowers to gardens and landscapes, nature provides artists with a constant source of inspiration, a cornucopia of colors, and a variety of beautiful forms. Translate these natural wonders into shimmering watercolors with these comprehensive exercises. Finished examples are broken down into constituent shapes, shadings, and techniques, so you'll understand how painters analyze their subjects, and develop artistic skills and compositional acuity. Paint indoor images of flower heads, autumn fruits, and lobsters. Move outside and sketch stone gateways, a glowing red poppy, and a cool blue cluster of sweetpea blossoms. Finally, capture woodlands, gardens, and open sea and sky.
