"Exploring the Nature of Watercolor"
|
A traditional approach to painting transparent watercolors with chapters on color, pattern and materials. Many demonstration paintings and step-by-step paintings are included. |
An excerpt from Chapter 1, for example,
includes basic color theory, pigments and
the practical use of color.

"Put Your Paintings in Perspective"
Mechanical Perspective is one of the most important elements of painting.
Because of the mathematical complexity, it is not studied
as much as the other elements of painting such as drawing, composition, color and technique.
This book explains what I believe are the most important concepts of linear perspective, in a more simplified form without the sometimes daunting mechanical construction.
The main concepts of linear perspective: picture plane, station point, eye level and one and two point perspective
are covered.They are explained with many diagrams in several views.
Studies include inclined planes, hills and valleys and roof tops and how to find their vanishing points. Shadows and their effects on surfaces are explained in detail.
Also covered are ellipses and more complex drawings of common situations that you will come across in your paintings.
The final chapter is an illustrated step by step diagram of a mechanical construction of a common object.
When drawing realistically, linear perspective will be one of the most important elements of your work.
The book includes over 150 illustrations in full color.
