In this superbly illustrated and practical book Trevor Waugh shows how to interpret and develop atmospheric watercolours by using bold brushwork, transparent washes and, most importantly, colourful lights and darks. Colour and light provide the key to creating paintings that are exciting and full of atmosphere, and Trevor Waugh focuses on these important aspects throughout the book. He sees a painting as a 'room', for which a colour scheme needs to be chosen and in which the different elements must be carefully placed in relation to the light and the composition as a whole.Winning with Watercolour includes the following features:Winning tips - helpful checklists and hints on painting successful watercolours Step-by-step demonstrations - detailed staged paintings of varied subjects Exercises - practical instruction in every chapter Watercolour techniques - essential guidelines on key topics Popular subjects - landscapes, flowers, figures and animals in a setting
