From the author
This book is for lovers in watercolor. And for those who have not yet had time to fall in love with her, but only look closely. And for those who are still afraid, but want to understand and try.
Watercolor loves brave. I always repeat this to my students! She has a thousand faces, and I want to show you everything.
The book is based on my course, which has already been successfully passed by several hundred people. I made it simple and affordable to everyone. Many students, completing it, pronounce the same phrase: “I did not suspect that I could draw it. If they told me this before the start of the course, I would not believe it! " And I smile every time.
The first chapter is dedicated to the materials. I talk a lot about them, but not abstruse. There are no trifles that can be neglected. In watercolors, materials are half the success. And, by the way, the students of the online course does not have the opportunity to jump with the task on the task. Therefore, if you want to really achieve good results, follow the plan.
The second chapter - theory and basic exercises. Even those of my students who were educated at universities, art schools and schools pass it as everyone else. Many admit that at first they were skeptical and afraid to get bored, but in the end they gained a sea of useful skills. Here we train and simultaneously carry out the first simple work. You yourself will be surprised how new images are born from light, but necessary exercises.
When you pass this stage, you will not have a single question about the theory of color or pour, tone or density. There will only be a hot desire to quickly test all this information in practice.
The third chapter is dedicated to her. It has a sea of exercises on different topics. From the assignment to the task, we will be deeper and deeper into watercolor deeper and deeper. In each topic, we will begin to work out already learned skills and add new tricks. We will learn how to transmit textures, work in the technique of a sample ", learn how to cause inspiration, and create a series of works in different styles. In the end, you will understand what is closer to you. Perhaps you want to continue working in the field of Food illustration or fall in love with sea landscapes?
I promise you one thing: if you perform all the tasks in turn without jumping from one to another, if you follow all the recommendations, your world will change, you will definitely make friends with the watercolor!
For whom this book
both for beginners who only have to fall in love with watercolor and for experienced artists who want to acquire new skills and master the techniques giving the work a zest.
