By: Christina Mancuso Jun. 23, 2015
As a professional watercolour artist, author Dianne Kelly shares her knowledge for others to easily learn the medium with her new publication, "The Art of Watering Colour" (published by Xlibris).
In this helpful guide, Kelly takes readers through the journey of techniques to mastering the magnificent obsession of water colour. It is an ideal book for the absolute beginner who has never painted in the medium before, as well as the experienced watercolourist who just needs to learn a few extra tricks to help loosen up and enhance their existing painting techniques. The book includes key features such as techniques and projects to help lose the fear of painting loosely to create magic in one's work; photographs showing real-life subjects with examples of colour mixing, reflected light and how it all comes together; detailed step by step instructions, handwritten on the actual subject that make the instructions clear and easy-to-follow; step by step painting demonstrations and fun projects.
Complete with 360 illustrations, photography, handwritten instructions and craft ideas, "The Art of Watering Colour" will let anyone experience the magical moment when a loose painting appears from the end of one's brush.
