The methods of merging soft luminous washes with the crisp, definite markings of penwork, are made easy with this book. Each stage of the painting process is illustrated using step-by-step photographs and beautiful finished paintings. Merging and blending washes of colour with fluid, definite linework enhances and strengthens a watercolour painting - whether you paint within the outline, or just suggest form in a rugged landscape. Bob Jennings illustrates the techniques with energy and enthusiasm - showing how to create a scene, define detail and add texture. Practical step-by-step demonstrations illustrate how to build up a painting, and inspirational paintings show how the techniques can be adapted to create new pictures.
