Realism in Watermedia



North Light, 2005

Book Description

Beginning and intermediate artists in all mediums will value Realism in Watermedia's combination of fantastic, realistic art and specific teaching in mixed media. Packaging a popular style with unique, easy-to-follow instruction, author Christopher Leeper:

* Demonstrates how to execute in watercolor, acrylic and gouache, and how to add accents and texture with pastel and colored pencil--sometimes all in the same painting

* Uses a broad range of subjects, such as landscapes, suburbscapes, flowers, animals and people, to appeal to many types of artists

* Offers problem/solution examples and before/after comparisons to simplify painting challenges

Ten mini-demos and 3 full step-by-step demos throughout the book will gradually build readers' skills.

Signed copies of this book are available from the artist.
