Watercolor
Basics by Jan Kunz – Paperback, 128 pages 1st edition
(April 1999) North Light Books
Watercolor can yield brilliant, gem-like colors or it can make
mud. The difference is knowing how color works, how different
pigments behave and how to see color with an artist's eyes.
In this book, you'll find the keys to great color - from the
importance of hue, value and intensity to how to capture the
illusion of sunlight and luminous darks. Everything's explained
in simple language with hands-on exercises, easy-to-follow demonstrations
and nineteen step-by-step projects showing you how to fill your
paintings with beautiful color!
This easy-to-use reference guide is a must-have for artists
of all skill levels. In it, they'll learn the keys to choosing
the right color every time and solving a wide variety of color-mixing
dilemmas. The special qualities and uses of most standard colors
are also discussed individually.
Analogous, complementary and triadic sample palettes are provided,
each with two step-by-step demonstrations. A color system dial
is also included to demonstrate colors mixed with neutrals,
tints and other common combinations.
Dawn McLeod Heim starts by showing you basic watercolor techniques
that aren't explained in such detail anywhere else—how
to lay a controlled wash, charge colors, mix colors, how moist
is "moist," how to check values, and other basics you need to
successfully complete the 10 gorgeous painting projects that
follow. Each project begins with a complete list of materials
and colors needed—right down to what size brushes to
use. You'll even get detailed drawings you can trace to help
you get you started. From there, just follow the clear, step-by-step
instructions like a recipe, and you can't go wrong! In each
project, you'll learn a variety of important techniques.
Reader review: Hill's painting style is loose, and ideal
for the usually spontaneous nature of watercolor. This is a
fine and needed book on color. The technique of painting receives
a concise two chapters, yielding space to the problem of making
watercolor paints behave. Hill's study of color is based in
physics and reality, not taste. I much prefer it this way. Full
and detailed descriptions of "all the paints you will probably
ever use" tell how they perform, how to test your paints,
and what to expect when you mix them. If blue and yellow do
not make green for you, but brown or gray, this book gives insight
into why this happens. . .
Whether you've taken art classes or never held a brush before,
An Introduction to Watercolor will show you everything you need
to know about painting beautifully in this challenging -- but
rewarding—medium. Easy-to-follow projects, shown as they
were created, teach the essentials while inspiring the student
to tackle increasingly complex techniques. Each volume of the
DK Art School series focuses on a specific medium and subject,
so you can choose precisely what you want to learn. When complete,
the DK Art School will offer the widest choice of specific
subjects—from acrylic figure to oil portrait, and from pastel
still life to watercolor landscape. Build your own private Art
School in your home library.
This is the only title on the market that gives readers a comprehensive
look at negative painting. Linda Kemp shows beginning and advanced
artists how to harness the power of these often overlooked areas
around a painting's focal point. The book is brimming with easy-to-follow,
interactive elements, including:
• Step-by-step techniques, exercises and projects
• Do-it-yourself tests and worksheets
• Troubleshooting suggestions and secrets
• Straightforward diagrams for color and design
Whether they want to paint florals, landscapes or patterns in
nature, readers will come away with the skills they need to
make their next work more striking than ever!
Once the watercolorist gets past good early training in books
like Mary Whyte's Watercolor for the Serious Beginner (Watson-Guptill,
1997), Dews's book will be a liberating experience. Dews takes
watercolor, acrylic, gesso, and inks and goes creatively crazy.
Using more than 32 techniques for creating patterns and textures,
she demonstrates her unconventional style of rendering trees,
rocks, and water into stunning abstract paintings. In one particularly
good section, she begins with a single reference photo and creates
three completely different works. Highly recommended. —Copyright

Reader review: Wiegardt's style is classical in his use
of the correct basics while still being very expressive and
loose. His step by step instructions are understandable and
easy to follow. His style is right on the mark for those interested
in learning how to develop that elusive "loose" style.
If you like Edgar Whitney and Skip Lawrence you'll love Wiegardt!
Lindsay's approach to teaching watercolor emerges from somewhere
between the traditional art world and the deep, mystic spaces
of the self. In her words, "Watercolor likes to be danced
with, not controlled." Relearn the playfulness of childhood,
she argues; abandon the constant worry of whether the work is
"good" or done the "right" way. If you concentrate
on the processAthe experience of paintingAquality will emerge
on its own. There are several fine books on watercolor from
the rational school, like Jack Reid's Watercolor Basics:
Let's Get Started (LJ 12/98). Lindsay's unique work will
strike a chord with many beginning artists who respond to a
more personal, even spiritual tone. So handsomely designed that
it's hard to resist leafing through it, this holistic tome is
highly recommended. —Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information,

Unique among watercolor instruction books, this volume documents,
in carefully sequenced photographs, the working methods of great
artists as diverse as Durer, Turner, Cezanne, and Sargent. Readers
are shown step by step how to make the best use of the masters'
insights. 325 color illustrations.
Whether they’re painting landscapes, portraits or still
lifes, all watercolorists want their work to glow from within.
In this essential guide, Penny Soto teaches painters the ins-and-outs
of achieving this elusive effect. Readers will learn:
• Why they should create value drawings
• How pigments react with paper
• The basics of color washes and temperature
• How to use an underpainting to make colors glow
The book gives artists a complete color education in an illustrated
instruction style that makes it easy for readers of every
skill level to follow along with the demonstrations. It’s
an ideal reference for any painter who wants richer, more
vibrant colors.
Penny Soto is an accomplished painter and illustrator. Her
work is included in the corporate collections of Pacific Bell,
Kaiser Foundation and Ralston Purina. Penny’s art has
also appeared in The Artist’s Magazine and Airbrush
Action. She lives in San Ramon, California.
Treman is a highly accomplished watercolorist, working in
a large-format, realistic style. Here, she concentrates on
color theory and the unique ability of watercolor to achieve
a transparent brilliance that lends work a heightened sense
of reality. Unique to this volume is Treman's use of what
she terms "disappearing purple." To avoid muddy
colors, the bane of the medium, she paints in shadows as her
first step, the opposite of the accepted method. She finds
that shades of purple blend and disappear, leaving vivid,
natural colors. (Old Masters, she contends, similarly used
sepia as an underpainting in oils.) Limited mainly to floral
still lifes, this should be added only after broader works
on the same topic, like Rachel Rubin Wolf's Splash 4: The
Splendor of Light (LJ 11/15/96). —Copyright 1998

Reader review: The cover of No More Wishy-Washy
Watercolor says it all, as does the title. Look at those
yellow sunflowers. They virtually POP against the purple flowers
between them (yellow and purple are color wheel opposites.)
That's just one trick to make your watercolor stand out that
you will learn in this book. If you love watercolor but hate
that smear of pale blue, dull green and other types of landscape
problems, look in here for solutions. This is a wonderful
watercolor book and a real help to anyone, experienced or
beginner.
Reader review: Successful paintings express feelings.
I think paintings without emotion content aren't worth the
paper. Clever technique alone has little lasting value. Superficial
dash and sparkle fade pretty rapidly in interest." That's
what the artist states and is ever so true, true to the feelings
and true to his faith to art. I am always inspired by this
artist, through what he says, through his paintings and how
he started his watercolour painting at his fifty! The light,
the emotions, the people, and the whole feel of the picture...
the painting itself tells!! I have read this book for many
times and every time I read like is the first time. If you
love watercolour painting, you should not miss this book!
This is a superior book with great teaching
techniques, telling what color paints are used
to get certain effects. The pictures themselves
are worth the book, but his teaching techniques
are excellent, and his artistry awesome. I recommend
it for beginners and for anfyone who wants to
learn to paint skies.
Szabo continues to be one of the masters in
the field of watercolors. Born in Hungary, he
teaches seminars that have influenced artist
in the United States, Canada, Europe, and the
Middle East. With this book, he adds another
important volume to ten previous highly popular
books, including his classic Zoltan Szabo's
70 Favorite Watercolor Techniques (LJ
3/15/96). Here, he briefly surveys tools and
techniques before guiding beginners through
15 step-by-step demonstrations of trees, mountains,
and rocks. He imparts color-mixing theory and
techniques for texture and mood, pulling it
all together into finished, realistic landscapes.
Highly recommended for all collections. —Copyright

The real challenge to painting a captivating
landscape is re-creating a tree's distinctive
character and personality. Adelene Fletcher
shows watercolorists of all skill levels how
to do exactly that in this unique guide.
The Watercolorist's A to Z of Trees and Foliage
features easy-to-follow instructions for painting
25 of the most popular species of trees, including:
• American Elm • Black walnut •
Oleander • Peach tree
• Golden weeping willow • Sugar maple
• Horse chestnut
Readers will also find concise instruction on
everything from dry brushing and masking to
negative painting and lifting out. This book
walks artists through all the tips, tricks and
techniques they'll need for more breathtaking
landcapes!
Featuring a detachable fold-out color wheel and clear guidelines,
this unique book solves the problem of muddy blends, taking
the guesswork out of mixing clean watercolors every time.
While the color groups of a standard wheel are shown, this wheel
goes much further, organizing pigments into five categories:
transparent nonstaining colors; semi-transparents; opaques;
semi-opaques; and whitened and blackened colors. Detailed text
explains how color groups interact, some resulting in dull blends,
others producing luminous, transparent effects. Readers are
treated to abundant examples, step-by-step exercises, and analyses
of work by several of today's outstanding watercolorists.

2: Watercolor Breakthroughs by Rachel Wolf (Editor),
Greg Albert (Editor) – Paperback, 144 pages (February 1998)
North Light Books
Reader review: This book is not just for the watercolor
enthusiast, as it focuses on "breakthroughs"...something
any artist can appreciate. Watercolor is only one of the mediums
that I use, but I go through this book over and over, always
finding something refreshing that helps in whatever work I'm
doing. It's great that some of the breakthroughs mentioned are
not limited to the technique alone, revealing the "true"
nature of being a working artist. The Splash series of books
are often the ones I choose to keep in my reference library.
Over 120 watercolor paintings which celebrate light are gathered
in this beautiful collection of contrasts and images. This gathers
illustrations from over a hundred contemporary American watercolorists,
who examine the nature of light in art and explore how their
used it to their advantage. A highly recommended collection
of stunning images.
Reader review: This book is a celebration of color and
the watercolor medium. Turning the pages is like watching a
fabulous fireworks display. Each page reveals another explosion
of beautiful color painting. Like fireworks, some paintings
go off with a huge bang, and others are more muted; but each
painting has something to say—there are no "duds."
Helpful comments by the artists give insight as to how and why
each painting was done. If you're an artist looking for inspiration,
this book can really give you a whack in the side of the head
that will send you running to your paints. Even if you're not
an artist, you'll enjoy the gorgeous colors and wide, wild variety
of subjects and techniques. An astonishing book and well worth
the price.
Reader review: I was given this book just two weeks ago,
but have already been through it several times. As its title
suggests, it does indeed focus on depicting texture in watercolors,
but I kept forgetting that as I turned each page and was stunned
by the incredible artwork. I liked this book the most because
of the diversity of paintings included. It has examples of serious,
whimsical, traditional, avant-garde, representational, abstract...
You name it! It helped open up my mind as to what watercolor
could be.
As prolific editor and artist Wolf rightly notes, "Light
elicits a host of reactions from us humans. Light is also the
foundation for art. Without light there is no contrast, no color,
no vision. Certainly, light's primacy and symbolic power make
it the most compelling subject for the visual artist."
Here, Wolf bears out her argument with 124 stunning examples
by 95 artists, who also append brief statements about each work.
This is an inspiring, visually rich volume but certainly not
an essential purchase if one owns Wolf's previous volume on
the same subject, Splash 4: The Splendor of Light. Either
is a good choice for advanced artists. For artists seeking detailed
instruction on the techniques of creating the ephemeral effects
of light, see Patricia Monahan's Light in Watercolour.

contemporary artists for the best such collection
to date. Artists' styles vary from precise botanical
studies to lush pastels and oils, light-filled
watercolors, and studies influenced by Japanese

Susanna Spann shows artists how to capture the
unmatched beauty of crystal and flowers in watercolor
by "building" paintings like a Polaroid
picture, developing them layer by layer, value
by value, creating works full of drama and feeling.
The first two titles in the new "Basic
Techniques" series from North Light Books,
these books are part of a trend by art instruction
publishers to compile previously published works
into larger, more definitive texts. Material
for these books came from earlier North Light
books and from The Artist's Magazine.
Basic Flower Painting includes the work
of 24 painters in more than 20 step-by-step
demonstrations. More than the sum of its parts,
it is a sophisticated, comprehensive treatment.
Basic
People Painting takes advantage
of the styles and ideas of 11 watercolorists
for a book that is visually rich and highly
useful. For portrait painting in other media,
see Roberta Carter Clark's How To Paint Living Portraits
(North Light, 1990). —Copyright 1996

Elizabeth Kincaid invites readers to follow her proven techniques
for painting dazzling scenes drenched in color. Her beautiful
flowers, foliage and landscapes will have readers eager to create
their own--and they will, using:
• Easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions that take the
mystery out of composition, color, light and shadow
• A practical guide to masking and glazing
• Newly trained eyes to visualize before painting and to
better
perceive abstract form, value, line and color
All levels of watercolorists, as well as color enthusiasts of
all mediums, will enjoy using Kincaid's tips to create vivid
paintings infused with light!
This is one of the best in a recent spate of books that uses
sunlight as the unifying theme. Donovan contends, as do most
realist artists, that light is the most important part of a
painting. In 33 demonstrations, she explores sunlit lace, glass,
silver, wood, fruit, and flowers. Refreshingly, she is one of
the few art instructors who admit that certain effects of texture
and shape are nearly impossible to learn from a book. Such honesty
is typical of the style of this fine work. A good companion
to Patricia Monahan's more general Light in Watercolour
(LJ 7/96). —Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information,

Capturing Light in Watercolor by Marilyn Simandle,
Lewis Barrett Lehrman – Hardcover, 128 pages, North Light
Books, 1997
Known for her glorious, light-filled paintings, Marilyn Simandle
shares her secrets for evoking the celebrated "glow" of watercolor.
The book includes a series of step-by-step demonstrations, each
building on the one before it. 182 color illustrations.
Paintings with light have a hidden energy—an energy that
captures the attention of the viewer. Painting Light and
Shade shows artists how to precisely control light and shade
in their paintings to achieve masterful results.
Readers will learn how to observe light and shade, and will
discover helpful techniques for painting light from the sky,
capturing highlights, painting shadows, and capturing the changing
nature through the day. Featured paintings from professional
artists, each accompanied by a tonal sketch, are broken down
into step-by-step demonstrations that focus on relevant techniques,
allowing readers to learn while simultaneously creating paintings
that shimmer with light.
Reader review: Whether you're a painter who has worked
for years, or a 'newbie' you will appreciate and be inspired
by Skip Lawrence's fresh and candid approach to more powerful
painting via the tools of light and shadow. This is not a 'paint-like-I-do"
guide, it's an intelligent conversation with examples of his
and other terrific artists, to show how color and light and
design all work together to create compelling and meaningful
art that truly expresses your vision as an artist. This is a
most essential and useful addition to any painter's resources,
and it's valuable for both watercolorists and painters of other
media as well.
