This book is a sequel to my book 'Watercolour Landscapes - Step by Step'. The first step in wa-tercolour painting is to learn the basic techniques of application of wash, brushwork etc. Besides the technique one needs to know about the right approach towards a subject.
When a scene is to be painted, how to go about it? Where to start from?
Generally, we paint from light to dark. But there can be different approaches to start off.
There is no written rule for this... after all, the result and the impact matters!
We move from large areas to small ones and finally impose details. At times we glaze careful-ly and then do the brushwork with finer details. There can also be a direct approach with bold colour application and tonal statements.
I have tried to share the different approaches I commonly use and have also tried to express through different subjects.
When I paint, the end result of the painting is ready in my mind. I proceed accordingly. To make you familiarize with this process, at the beginning of a few demonstrations, I have provided thumb-nails of the final painting.
