The Watercolorist's Guide to Capturing the Splendor of Light
By Joyce Roletto Faulknor. Second only to flowers, crystal and glass are the most popular—and perhaps the most challenging—subjects for watercolor painters. With this book, dramatic light-filled paintings become possible no matter what your skill level.
Where most watercolorists paint from light to dark, expert Joyce Faulknor teaches how to go from dark to light—a technique she says is easier to learn and ultimately adds more depth and texture. She also shows ways to add flowers, colorful cloths, and reflective surfaces to backgrounds to create spectacular effects.
