Sunlight & Shadows in Watercolour<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

128-page hardcover book by Lucy Willis.<\/p>\n

\"Sunlight<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Perhaps not for beginners, this book has beautiful images and lots of useful information for any painter. The paintings are inspirational and excellent examples of what she is talking about. Lucy Willis gives expert advice on how to master tone, hue and shadow to create atmospheric paintings. The book features several step-by-step demonstrations throughout to help painters of all levels develop their skills.<\/p>\n

Lucy encourages watercolour painters to explore the effect of natural light and shade in various themes and settings, including landscapes, gardens, interiors, still life and portraits. She gives the reader useful advice on how to paint cast shadows, curved shadows, soft- and hard-edged shadows and shadows in perspective. She also talks about the effects light has on objects and landscapes. There is a lot to learn from a very knowledgeable painter.<\/p>\n
