Book description
The Big Book of Watercolor gives readers never-before-seen bang for their buck, with 75 step-by-step tutorials that cover everything from wide sprawling mountain ranges and magnificent sea dives to humble houseplants and magnified bumble bees - all for an unbeatable price! In her easy-to-follow tutorials, Mallery gives beginners all the tips and tricks to succeed in painting the world around them. Teaching through each varied project, Mallery broadens the scope of techniques beginners typically learn and answers questions before they're asked. And for those intimidated by sketching, Mallery's traceable templates at the back of the book easily tear from perforated edges to let readers skip the drawing and dive right into the fun of painting. Get a taste of everything with chapters on stunning botanicals, diverse land and seascapes, global landmarks, tempting foodstuffs and still lifes. Beginners will practice washes and glazes while painting Fiddle Leaf Figs and Ripe Tomatoes; they'll master perspective painting traveling to the Cliff Sides of Greece and the English Countryside; and they'll experiment with vibrant colors when composing the Northern Lights, Tropical Fish and Cherry Blossom Tress. With Mallery's illustrative step-by-step photographs and no-fail methods, beginners will be painting their way around the world in no time.
